According to the preliminary figures for Gross Foreign Direct Investment inflows published by the Bank of Mauritius on Thursday 16th February, the FDI inflow to Mauritius for the period of January to September 2022 amounted to Rs 18.231 billion, representing an increase of 113% when compared to the same period in 2021 which was Rs 8.539 billion.

On comparing the historical data for the first three quarters of the years 2016 to 2022, as shown in the chart, it is observed that the inflow for 2022 represents an all-time high.
