Mauritius experienced a reduction in its trade deficit, which decreased to MUR 15.5 billion in September 2025, compared to MUR 19.6 billion in the corresponding month of the previous year. This occurred despite a 3% year-on-year reduction in exports, totaling MUR 9.3 billion. This decline in exports was primarily influenced by significant drops in crude materials and inedible items, excluding fuels (-29.7%), as well as animal and vegetable oils, fats, and waxes (-33.3%), and chemical and related products (-24.2%). Notably, the United States saw a 36% decrease in exports from Mauritius due to the impact of mutual 10% tariffs, with shipments to France also reducing by 20.2%.

On the import side, there was a 14.9% reduction, attributed to lower imports of food and live animals (-3.6%), animal and vegetable oils, fats, and waxes (-45.9%), as well as mineral fuels, lubricants, and related materials (-41.6%). Imports from major source countries also saw substantial declines, including the UAE (-67.7%), India (-33.5%), France (-25.3%), and South Africa (-23.4%).
