### Overview
- The Mauritian economy "has weathered the global economic slowdown relatively well."
- The assessment is drawn from the 2002 Article IV Consultation report.

### Growth and output
- Economic output is expected to expand by about 5.3 percent in 2001/02 (July–June).
- This growth is characterized as "only slightly below its trend rate of growth of the past 20 years."

### Tourism
- Tourism "weakened somewhat in the second quarter of 2001 but picked up in the second half."
- The recovery in tourism is partly attributed to "Mauritius’ reputation as a safe destination."

### Labor market and unemployment
- "Notwithstanding the relatively robust economic growth over the past decade, unemployment has risen steadily."
- Unemployment is projected to reach about 9 percent in 2001/02.
