Mauritius Industrial Output Growth Slows in Q2

Industrial production in Mauritius grew by 1.7% year-on-year in the second quarter of 2025, slowing from a seven-quarter high of 2.6% in the previous period. The downturn was mainly due to a decline in the output of mining and quarrying (-2.4% vs 2.2% in Q1). Additionally, production growth moderated in the manufacturing sector (1.5% vs 1.8%) and electricity, gas, steam, and air conditioning supply (5.4% vs 8.9%).
