In March 2025, Mauritius experienced a significant spike in its Consumer Price Index (CPI), marking a noticeable shift in the nation’s economic atmosphere. According to the latest data updated on April 7, 2025, the CPI reached 1.80%, compared to the previously reported 0.10% in February 2025.
This year-over-year comparison highlights a substantial increase as the March CPI figure reflects the change from the same month in the previous year. The February figure of 0.10% indicated a modest growth when compared to the same month the preceding year, pointing towards a rapid acceleration in inflationary pressures as March saw a steep rise.
The current index not only reflects increased consumer prices but also underscores the evolving economic conditions within Mauritius. With this significant uptick, the focus will likely shift towards the measures that policymakers might undertake to address and stabilize the rising inflation in the upcoming months. The economic trajectory in Mauritius will be crucial to monitor as stakeholders assess the broader implications of these developments on both domestic and foreign investments.
