Mauritius’ consumer price inflation eased further in March 2026, with the year-over-year CPI rate slowing to 2.70%, down from 3.50% in February 2026. The latest reading, updated on 07 April 2026, points to a continued disinflation trend in the island economy.
Both the current and previous figures reflect year-over-year comparisons, measuring price changes in each month relative to the same month a year earlier. The March 2026 decline suggests that price pressures are moderating compared with March 2025, following a similar slowdown already visible in February’s data versus February 2025.
The softer annual inflation backdrop may offer policymakers greater flexibility, as the economy balances growth prospects with the need to maintain price stability. Investors and businesses will be watching upcoming releases closely to assess whether this downward inflation trajectory persists into the second quarter of 2026.
