Mauritius Briefly
Mauritius, a small island nation with a population of 1.3 million people, has one of the most successful and competitive economies in Africa. The country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was $11.5 billion in 2021, while per capita GDP was $9,106. In July 2020, the World Bank classified Mauritius as a high-income country based on 2019 data; however, due to the impacts of COVID-19, Mauritius reverted to upper-middle income country status in July 2021. During the pandemic, the country experienced a 15 percent contraction in GDP, which fell from $14 billion in 2019 to $11 billion in 2020. With a slight rebound in tourism and an island-wide vaccination campaign, GDP increased marginally to $11.1 billion in 2021, which is 20 percent below the pre-pandemic level. Tourism, manufacturing, and retail were the hardest-hit sectors during the pandemic. Real GDP growth was estimated at 3.7 percent in 2021, and the World Bank forecasted that the economy would rebound with GDP growth of 5.8 percent in 2022, and 6 percent in 2023, before decelerating to 3.9 percent in 2024, in a global context of low growth, high inflation, and heightened geopolitical tensions.
