Hi, I'm Una Chaplin and I'm the host of a new podcast called Hollywood Exiles.

It tells the story of how my grandfather, Charlie Chaplin, and many others, were caught up in a campaign to root out communism in Hollywood.

Hollywood Exiles from CBC Podcasts and the BBC World Service. Find it wherever you get your podcasts.

Hello and welcome to Business Daily on the BBC World Service.

I am Peter McJope.

On today's program, we put a spotlight on one of Africa's hidden gems.

For anyone looking at a place where you want to do business as investors,

you would want to look at a place where you have a political stability,

you have rule of law, you have peace of mind,

and a place where you feel at home.

Mauritius, an island nation off the coast of the Indian Ocean, with a consistent economic growth spanning decades.

This small island has earned itself the status of Africa's leading economic hub, but some say it's a tax haven.

I wouldn't say if there's anything nefarious in it.

It's just a country saw that it could

create an advantage for itself and went and created it, made itself very attractive as the

first destination for investors onto the continent and leverage that to their advantage.

But with big ambitions and a small population,

how does the island intend to scale up?

We have seen so many people from Kenya,

from South Africa, from Botswana, from Zimbabwe,

from Nigeria, as you said, from Uganda.

We're all working here.
