FX.co ★ Mauritius Inflation Eases to 3.5% in February, Extending Downward Trend

Mauritius’ consumer price inflation slowed to 3.50% year-on-year in February 2026, down from 3.90% in January 2026, extending a gradual easing in price pressures. The latest consumer price index (CPI) figure, updated on 06 March 2026, is based on a comparison of February 2026 prices with those of February 2025.

The previous reading for January 2026 reflected a 3.90% year-on-year rise, measured against January 2025. February’s softer print indicates a further moderation in annual inflation, suggesting that price growth is stabilizing after earlier, higher readings. While detailed drivers of the decline were not provided, the data point to a continued cooling in overall consumer price increases in Mauritius as of early 2026.
