Hello everyone,

Every year, we invite you to share your experiences with the cost of living in in Mauritius, especially in the region or city you live in. Your insights will greatly help members planning their move to Mauritius or already living there.

Here are some points to guide you; the idea is to provide average prices for each category:

What is the cost of renting or buying an apartment or house in Mauritius?

What are the typical fares for public transportation such as buses, subways, trains, trams, or taxis?

Could you share the average monthly cost of your grocery shopping?

How much does health insurance cost? What is the price of a medical consultation in Mauritius?

What are the tuition fees for children?

What are the average monthly costs for utilities, such as electricity, gas, water, internet, and phone plans?

How much do you spend monthly on leisure activities?

If there are other expenses you find relevant, please feel free to share them!

Thank you for your contribution.

The cost of living this year will be gradual to explain or even work out.聽 This is mainly due to there being a new government since November 2024 and from their plan announced last Friday it seems that many schemes or initiative are being outlined to help the economy get back to a more suitable model.聽 The strength of the plans could simply be evaluated in how the value of the Mauritius Rupee goes against the leading currencies as to where most imports come from.聽聽The poorer the exchange rate means higher import costs of goods which means higher prices,聽 When you can import say goods at one pound GBP at around 58rs for one pound and perhaps later in the year the same one pound is at say 40rs then the cost to import goods is some 20% cheaper聽 in theory
