World Logistics Passport (WLP) is a global, private sector-led initiative designed to smooth the flow of international trade and facilitate market access for traders and freight forwarders who are members to the program. Launched in 2020, the WLP works similarly to frequent-flyer programs used by airlines to encourage customers to accumulate points.

The World Trade Organisation concluded the fifth trade policy review of Mauritius between the 9^th and 11^th November 2021. The WTO report shows that Europe remains the main export market for Mauritian products, accounting for some 45% of total exports of goods in 2019-2020, even though this share has declined over time due to diversification of markets. In terms of individual markets, the UK remains the main buyer of Mauritian products, while the US occupies the second place. Conversely, the share of exports to the African market has registered a significant increase from 19.3% in 2014 to almost 27% in 2019-2020, South Africa and Kenya having registered a constant and progressive increase of their imports from this country. Concerning Mauritian imports, more than half of the imports are sourced from the Asian continent, with  China (16.7%) and India (13.9%) occupying the first two places.
