Overview
Mauritius's gdp per capita stood at $12,519 in 2025, a rise of +$528 from 2024. The IMF projects $12,519 by 2025. Mauritius ranked 79th globally.
Mauritius’ GDP per capita has risen from a trough of 238.25 in 1960 to an all‑time peak of 12,518.85 in 2025, placing the island nation at rank 79 globally. This 52‑year expansion reflects sustained diversification from sugar‑based agriculture to services, tourism, and financial activities, while maintaining macro‑stability through prudent fiscal policies. The 2025 figure is marginally below that of Grenada (12,543.95) and the Dominican Republic (11,919.42), underscoring Mauritius’ position among the higher‑income small states. Compared with a rapidly industrialising economy such as China, whose 2025 per‑capita output reached 13,806.03, Mauritius lags in absolute terms but benefits from a more equitable distribution of wealth. The upward trajectory is anchored in ongoing reforms in education, digital infrastructure, and renewable energy, yet future growth will depend on the ability to attract high‑value investment and mitigate external shocks such as commodity price volatility. Continued progress is likely if these structural reforms are sustained.
