Overview
Mauritius's consumer price index stood at 182.01 in 2025, a rise of +11.68 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 182.01 by 2025. Mauritius ranked 74th globally.
Mauritius’ Consumer Price Index (CPI) has risen from a low of 2.91 in 1963 to an all‑time high of 182.01 in 2025, placing the island nation 74th globally among 213 economies. The 63‑year trajectory reflects a sustained acceleration of price levels, particularly since the early 2000s when inflationary pressures intensified alongside rapid expansion in tourism and services. In 2025 the CPI of 182.01 is closely matched by peers such as West Bank and Gaza (182.24) and Iceland (182.90), underscoring that Mauritius now shares the upper tier of price‑level indices with both developing and high‑income economies. The steep climb from the 1963 trough signals structural shifts in monetary policy, exchange‑rate dynamics, and commodity import dependence. If fiscal discipline and targeted subsidies are maintained, the upward pressure on the CPI could moderate, but any resurgence of global fuel price spikes or supply‑chain disruptions would likely re‑ignite inflationary momentum.
