Mauritius’ consumer price inflation picked up pace in April 2026, with the year-over-year Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising to 3.60%, up from 2.70% in March 2026. The data, updated on 08 May 2026, indicate a notable acceleration in price growth compared with the same month a year earlier.
The figures are based on a year-over-year comparison, where the April reading reflects the change in prices versus April of the previous year, while the March figure similarly compared prices with March a year earlier. This upward move from March to April suggests mounting inflationary pressures in the Mauritian economy as the second quarter of 2026 gets underway.
