- Missing observations remain gaps. Values are shown as published.
- Coverage 1963Republic of Mauritius. The CPI measures prices of goods and services acquired by private households; the July 2024 methodology gives its scope as all private households of the Republic, and prices of non-perishable items are collected monthly in the nine districts of the island of Mauritius and in Rodrigues. These files restate the scope only for the current basket; the earlier bases are the same national series and are loaded at the same scope, which is an inference. Never compared with, or divided by, a figure for the island alone.
- Coverage 2007July 2007: new base July 2006 - June 2007 = 100, with a new basket and weights. Statistics Mauritius publishes the rate continuously across the change; a rate whose twelve-month averages straddle it compares averages taken on two bases. MorisLens checks published rates against the index only within one base and computes none across a rebasing.
- Coverage 2013April 2013: new base Year 2012 = 100, with a new basket and weights. Statistics Mauritius publishes the rate continuously across the change; a rate whose twelve-month averages straddle it compares averages taken on two bases. MorisLens checks published rates against the index only within one base and computes none across a rebasing.
- Coverage 2018April 2018: new base Year 2017 = 100, with a new basket and weights. Statistics Mauritius publishes the rate continuously across the change; a rate whose twelve-month averages straddle it compares averages taken on two bases. MorisLens checks published rates against the index only within one base and computes none across a rebasing.
- Definition change 2021Source of the CORE1 and CORE2 rates: the Bank of Mauritius for 2004-2020, Statistics Mauritius from 2021. A comparison across 2021 is between two compilers' figures and is not computed.
- Coverage 2024April 2024: new base Year 2023 = 100, with a basket derived from the 2023 Household Budget Survey and 13 COICOP 2018 divisions in place of 12 COICOP 1999 divisions. Statistics Mauritius publishes the rate continuously across the change; a rate whose twelve-month averages straddle it compares averages taken on two bases. MorisLens checks published rates against the index only within one base and computes none across a rebasing.
Notes on this data (1)
- Revision 1974Published rates are the official figures, compiled from the index values and conventions in force when each was published. Statistics Mauritius explained on 25 September 2026 that after a rebasing the earlier indices are linked to the new base with linking factors, and that rates already published are not revised; a rate recomputed from the linked historical index can therefore differ slightly at the decimal from the published one, as in the months noted as discrepancies. MorisLens serves the published rates and does not recompute them.
