Mauritian economy will expand 4.1% this year, IMF forecasts

The Mauritian economy is projected to expand 4.1 percent in 2011, compared with growth of 4 percent last year and 3 percent in 2009, the International Monetary Fund said in a statement on its website.

“The central bank should closely monitor inflationary pressures with a tightening bias to ensure that recent inflationary pressures do not become engrained,” the IMF said after its executive board concluded an Article IV consultation with Mauritius.
