Mauritius is witnessing an uptick in inflation as the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose to 4.20% in May 2025, marking an increase from April's figure of 3.80%. Data updated on June 6, 2025, highlights this rise, which is part of a Year-over-Year comparison.
This current indicator shows the change in prices compared to May 2024, signaling potential increasing pressure on consumers in Mauritius. The previous indicator from April, which also accounted for changes from the same month in the previous year, painted a slightly less concerning picture, with a 3.80% rise.
The increase in the CPI suggests that pricing pressures in essential commodities and services may be affecting household expenditures, compelling policymakers and stakeholders to assess the economic implications as they brace for further developments. This trend points towards an essential dialogue on monetary policy to manage inflationary expectations moving forward.
