Macroeconomic outlook and growth
- The outlook for growth and inflation is described as "broadly positive."
- Growth is likely to slow somewhat to below 4 percent.
- The cyclical component of Mauritius’ fiscal balance is projected to be small.
Fiscal stance and risks
- A less expansionary fiscal stance than currently projected by IMF staff would:
- contribute to building policy buffers, and
- reduce relatively high debt levels.
- In the event of a deterioration in the external environment:
- automatic stabilizers should be allowed to work, and
- limited fiscal stimulus could also be considered.
Key subjects and analytical focus
- Commercial banks
- External debt
- Financial institutions
- Fiscal consolidation
- Fiscal policy
- Fiscal stimulus
- Public debt
