Mauritius’ consumer price inflation picked up in July 2026, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 4.40% year-over-year, up from 3.70% in June 2026. The latest data, updated on 7 August 2026, signals a noticeable acceleration in price growth compared with the previous month.

On a year-over-year basis, the July reading reflects a stronger increase in consumer prices than seen in June, when the CPI was also measured against the same month a year earlier. The comparison framework shows that while June’s 3.70% inflation marked a moderate annual rise, July’s 4.40% suggests growing price pressures within the Mauritian economy.

The year-over-year methodology used for both June and July means that each month’s figure compares price changes to the corresponding month a year before, allowing observers to track how inflation momentum has shifted between early and mid-2026.
