What the numbers say
In 2025, Mauritius' discrepancy in expenditure estimate of GDP (current LCU) rose 10.05 billion on 2024 (from 44.68 billion to 54.73 billion).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +1.46 billion and a typical year strayed about 6.73 billion from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 1.3 standard deviations above that average, so it was larger than a typical year, though not out of the range seen before.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 16.06 billion in 2011 and the biggest yearly fall was 14.06 billion in 2009. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2016 to 2025 the straight-line trend is upward, about 4.9 billion a year. A straight line explains 81% of the movement over 10 observed years.

What this measures
Although the SNA ensures there is perfect consistency between the three measures of GDP, this is a conceptual consistency that in general does not emerge naturally from data compilations. This is because of the wide disparity of data sources that must be called on and the fact that any error in any source will lead to a difference between at least two of the GDP measures. In practice it is inevitable that many such data errors will exist and will become apparent in exercises such as the balancing of supply and use tables. This indicator is expressed in current prices, meaning no adjustment has been made to account for price changes over time. This series is expressed in local currency units.
