What the numbers say
In 2024, Mauritius' gross savings (current LCU) rose 10.8% on 2023 (from 132.04 billion to 146.35 billion).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1994 to 2023), the average change was +8.7% and a typical year strayed about 19.4% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.1 standard deviations above that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 66.2% in 2022 and the biggest yearly fall was 34.9% in 1980. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2015 to 2024 the straight-line trend is upward, about 6.27 billion a year. A straight line explains 43% of the movement over 10 observed years.

What this measures
Savings is an amount that represents the part of disposable income (adjusted for the change in pension entitlements) that is not spent on final consumption. Gross savings are calculated as gross national income less total consumption, plus net transfers. 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.
