Mauritius BIP Veränderung zum Vorjahr

The economy of Mauritius advanced by 6.3% year-on-year in Q3 2024, up from a downwardly revised 4.5% rise in the previous three-month period. This marked the strongest economic expansion since Q2 2023, with investment as the main driver, spurred by large construction projects in tourism, housing, and public infrastructure. Construction and accommodation services were key contributors to growth, with construction rising by 17.9% (vs 31.6% in Q2) and accommodation and food services increasing by 6% (vs 2.2%). On the demand side, fixed investment surged by 15.7%, led by building activity (+17.4%), while government spending picked up (+8.3%, compared to +0.7%). However, household consumption slowed (+2% vs. +5.9%), and net external demand had a negative impact on GDP, as the increase in imports (+10.9%) outpaced the growth in exports (+4.3%).
