Mauritius

Mauritius, in the Africa region per this bundle's classification, had a population of 1,245,779 in 2024, according to World Bank World Development Indicators (WDI). Gross domestic product was $14,937,861,786.17 in 2024, per World Bank WDI, with GDP per capita at $11,990.78 the same year, also per World Bank WDI. Government debt stood at 86.5 percent of GDP in 2026, per the IMF World Economic Outlook (WEO). Foreign exchange reserves were $8,566,153,000.00 in 2025, per IMF International Financial Statistics (IFS).

On defense, SIPRI's Military Expenditure Database records military spending at $23,839,838.91 in 2025. Measured against SIPRI's own GDP series, not the World Bank GDP figure cited above, that spending equated to 0.146 percent of GDP in 2025, per SIPRI Milex. Active military personnel are recorded at 0 for 2022, according to the Correlates of War National Material Capabilities (COW NMC) dataset. The same source puts Mauritius's composite index of national capability (CINC) score at 0.000079742415 for 2022.

On governance, V-Dem v15 scores Mauritius's electoral democracy index at 0.738 and liberal democracy index at 0.639, both for 2025. State capacity is scored at 0.792 for the same year, also per V-Dem v15.

Energy figures from Our World in Data show primary energy consumption of 0.0809 exajoules in 2023 and electricity generation of 3.41 terawatt-hours in 2024. Oil production and gas production are both recorded at 0.0 terawatt-hours, dated 2016.

The 0.146 percent of GDP figure for military spending is drawn from SIPRI's own GDP series, not the $14,937,861,786.17 World Bank WDI GDP figure cited above, and the two should not be read as derived from one another. The 86.5 percent debt-to-GDP figure for 2026, from IMF WEO, carries a later year than the 2024-2025 economic and reserves figures it sits alongside. The three V-Dem v15 governance readings — electoral democracy at 0.738, liberal democracy at 0.639, and state capacity at 0.792 — are all dated 2025 and are reported here only as point values for that year.

Data gaps

The COW NMC dataset records zero active military personnel for 2022 even though SIPRI's 2025 military expenditure figure and a non-zero CINC score are both present — the personnel field is flagged here as zero, not missing, per the source. The oil and gas production figures are dated 2016, older than the rest of the bundle's 2023-2025 figures.
