Mauritius Expects a 3.2% GDP Growth in 2025 According to Statistics Mauritius

According to data released by Statistics Mauritius on December 19, the expected economic growth for 2025 is set against a backdrop of increasing tourist arrivals, ongoing public and private investments, and the guidelines of the 2025-2026 budget. The GDP at market prices is projected to rise by 3.2% in 2025, following a growth of 4.9% in 2024.

Gross value added at basic prices is expected to increase by 3.1%, primarily driven by the financial and insurance sectors, agriculture, trade, and transport.

Agriculture is anticipated to grow by 7.8%, despite another contraction in sugar cane production, while other agricultural activities remain robust.

The manufacturing sector is expected to grow at a moderate pace, with mixed performances across its sub-sectors. Construction is projected to decline after a significant increase in 2024, despite ongoing infrastructure projects.

Services, particularly transport, accommodation, information, and communication, are expected to continue supporting economic activity.
