Overview
Mauritius's remittances received stood at $300.8M in 2025, a rise of +$13.9M from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $300.8M by 2025. Mauritius ranked 131st globally.
Mauritius’ remittance inflows have risen steadily since the earliest World Bank record in 1994, when receipts amounted to 118,000,000.00, to a 2025 level of 300,819,182.27, placing the island nation at 131st globally. The upward trajectory peaked in 2014 at 327,038,003.84 before a sharp dip to a trough of 518,994.67 in 2011, reflecting the vulnerability of migrant‑worker earnings to global economic cycles. Over the 32‑year span, Mauritius’ performance is comparable to that of Benin, which recorded 302,927,994.50 in the same period, and slightly exceeds Mozambique’s 289,075,525.50, suggesting that the country’s diaspora remains a significant source of foreign exchange relative to peers of similar rank. Assuming continued diversification of overseas employment opportunities and stable macro‑economic conditions, the upward trend in remittances is likely to persist, though major shocks to host‑country economies could alter the trajectory.
