Mauritius’ stock market capitalisation fell to 55% of GDP in 2025.

Higher is better. A higher figure means more of the economy's business value is traded in public markets. That gives firms a route to raise money by issuing shares and gives savers more local assets to invest in. The latest figure is 55% of GDP for 2025, down from 61.1% of GDP a year earlier, a fall of 6.1 percentage points. Since 2016 the series has ranged from a low of 53.3% of GDP in 2020 to a high of 76.9% of GDP in 2021. The latest reading sits just above the bottom of that range and well below the 2021 peak.

Why it matters. Listed companies in Mauritius are now worth a little over half of a year's national output. Households with savings or pensions invested in local shares hold less wealth through listed firms than a year earlier. Companies that want to raise equity face lower valuations, which can push them towards bank borrowing. The 2020 low of 53.3% of GDP is the level to watch in the next reading.
