In the various media, inflation in Mauritius is becoming increasingly important. This is becoming a concern for some, with fears of an impact on day-to-day budgeting.

Today, how does inflation in Mauritius impact on daily life?

Which products and services have increased the most (insurance, shopping, petrol, electricity etc.)?

Have you had to review your budget? If so, what are your priorities?

What solutions have expatriates found to curb the impact of inflation? Did they use specific aids?

Thanks for your future contribution
Kind regards,

The Big Mac Index:

at Rs 109 for a Big Mac, Mauritius is at 2.47 near the bottom of the Big Mac index (just above South Africa's 2.20), which makes it very affordable relative to Europe, the U.S.A. and most of the rest of the world

Covid. Government bailouts. War in Ukraine.

Mauritius is impacted as is the rest of the world.

It’s a juggling act for each government to balance population expectations V recession.

If only those experts, perpetuating toxic arguments on social media, took up politics and found a panacea!
