La croissance du PIB réel devrait s’établir à 5.5 % en 2024, puis à 4.5 % en 2025. Elle sera principalement tirée par une reprise vigoureuse du tourisme, de la construction et de l’investissement. La croissance de l’investissement devrait être stimulée par l’investissement direct étranger et l’investissement public, en particulier dans le secteur du logement. L’inflation a poursuivi son repli en 2023 et devrait s’établir dans la fourchette de 2 à 5 % retenue comme objectif par la Banque de Maurice d’ici à la fin de 2024, puis descendre encore à 4.2 % en 2025.
Real GDP is projected to grow by 5.5% in 2024 and 4.5% in 2025. The main drivers will be the continued robust recovery in tourism, construction, and investment. Investment growth is expected to be supported by foreign direct investment and public investment, particularly in the housing sector. Inflation continued declining over 2023 and is expected to be within the Bank of Mauritius’ target range of 2 to 5 per cent by the end of 2024, before declining further to 4.2% in 2025.
Given the fast pace of global socio-economic development, more tailored, focused, and localised efforts to strengthen public sector capacity in small island developing states (SIDS) is increasingly important. SIDS have unique vulnerabilities, rich histories and contexts, and strengths that can be harnessed for sustainable development. Development partners need to adapt how they provide capacity-strengthening support, taking individual SIDS’ circumstances and needs into account to better help them achieve their ambitions. This report summarises perspectives from small island developing states (SIDS) on current experiences and opportunities to improve capacity-strengthening support to make it more tailored, impactful, and sustainable. The report uses the broad definition of capacity-strengthening as activities that improve the competencies and abilities of individuals, organisations, and broader formal and informal social structures in a way that boosts organisational performance. It concentrates on public sector capacity, including interactions with other stakeholders across sectors.

Small island developing states (SIDS) have been acutely affected by the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper takes a broader perspective to explore how the revenue effects of this crisis in SIDS are connected to their unique financing and development challenges. It also suggests how SIDS governments and development co-operation providers can better partner together to strengthen mobilisation of domestic revenues – in particular tax revenues – in the recovery post-COVID-19.
