[Dataset] Balance of Payments and International FDI Position in Mauritius: FY2019/20

Mauritian merchandise export earnings been contracting consistently until 2018. The slower export earnings have deteriorated Mauritius’s current account balance. The balance of payments also deteriorated but gross official reserves have increased slightly due to the persistent inward foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows. These capital flows have not been sufficient to improve Mauritius’s balance of payments and deteriorated the country’s net international FDI position. Nonetheless, Mauritius’s balance of payments is projected to recover to a wider surplus, which is projected to support growth of gross official reserves in the medium-term.
