Inflation Rate (CPI): Mauritius

Analysis# Mauritius Inflation Rate (CPI) Mauritius's inflation rate stands at 3.6% in 2026, reflecting a stable economic environment after years of volatility. The country has achieved a dramatic 89.1% decline from its 1980 peak of 33%, when double-digit inflation plagued the economy. The 2019 low of 0.5% marked a deflationary moment, representing the most price stability in the dataset's 50-year span. The most significant turning point occurred in 2022, when inflation surged to 10.8%—a sharp spike driven by global supply chain disruptions and commodity price shocks. Since then, the central bank's stabilization efforts have successfully brought rates down to the 3-3.9% range through 2026. This moderation suggests Mauritius has weathered inflationary pressures effectively, positioning the economy on a sustainable trajectory with inflation expectations anchored near current levels.
