Mauritius: Report on the Observance of Standards and Codes—Data Module

International Monetary Fund

No 2025/342, IMF Staff Country Reports from International Monetary Fund

Abstract: This paper presents report on the Observance of Standards and Codes—Data Module for Mauritius. The Response by the Authorities to this report and the Detailed Assessments Using the Data Quality Assessment Framework are also included. Mauritius’ Statistics Act provides a strong legal foundation for official statistics, but reforms underway will further enhance independence, transparency, and data integrity. Further enhancements are recommended to strengthen the professional independence of the Statistics Mauritius Director, modernize provisions for data sharing and access to administrative data. Mauritius’ macroeconomic statistics are broadly aligned with international statistical standards across all major domains. Mauritius has established a solid foundation for data accuracy and reliability, supported by long time series, regular publications, and broadly adequate source data, though some areas for improvement remain. Users of Mauritius Statistics expressed overall satisfaction with the quality of official statistics, while they emphasized the importance of strengthening the independence and governance of the statistical system to safeguard its credibility and transparency.
