Clear Economic Information to Attract Investors

Mauritius has taken a major step forward by adhering to the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) Special Data Dissemination Standard (SDDS) Plus.

This is the highest level of the IMF’s standards for publishing economic and financial statistics. With this adherence, Mauritius becomes the first country in Africa and the 32nd in the world to achieve this level of transparency.

This decision illustrates the country’s commitment to sharing reliable and comprehensive information about its economy. SDDS Plus requires Mauritius to regularly publish detailed indicators on key areas, such as direct investment, portfolio investment, and other financial companies. This data helps markets, policymakers, and the public better understand the country’s economic development.

This transparency also contributes to strengthening the quality of economic policies and the accountability of institutions. Accessible and accurate statistics make it easier for analysts and the international community to monitor the Mauritian economy and enable informed decision-making.

With the transition to SDDS Plus, Mauritius will also publish more detailed information on certain categories already available, thus offering a more granular level of analysis than before. All this data is accessible on the Mauritius National Synthesis Data Platform (NSDP). It is presented in a clear and standardized manner, allowing for easy comparison with data from other countries. The data series are also available in a machine-readable format, convenient for researchers and financial institutions.
