What it is. GDP per capita divides the value of everything produced in Mauritius in a year by the number of people living there, with output counted at current US dollar prices. Because it is an average, it says nothing about how income is shared between households. Because it is measured in dollars at current prices, it moves with the rupee exchange rate and with price changes as well as with real output.
Higher is better. A higher figure means more output per resident, which gives a country more room for wages, investment and public services, so higher is better. The latest figure is $12,991 for 2025, up from $11,991 a year earlier, a rise of $1,000 or 8.3%. It is the highest in the range since 2016. The lowest point in that span was $9,136 in 2020.
Why it matters. At $12,991 per person, Mauritius produces well above its level of 2020, when output per head fell to $9,136. A larger economy per resident gives households more scope for spending and gives the state a bigger base for tax revenue. Firms in a market of this size, however, still depend heavily on trade and on the exchange rate, because the figure is counted in dollars.
