Banque mondiale : Maurice classée pays à hauts revenus…



La Banque mondiale classe Maurice comme un pays à hauts revenus. Une première pour le pays. Maurice se trouve au deuxième rang du classement des pays africains à hauts revenus derrière les Seychelles. Cette classification est fondée sur le revenu national brut par tête d’habitants. Elle est révisée chaque année dès le 1er juillet sur la base de nouvelles données économiques de chaque pays. 

Voici le communique de la Banque Mondiale :

World Bank Classifies Mauritius as High-Income Country 

WASHINGTON, July 1, 2020 — The World Bank has classified Mauritius as a high-income country for the first time, joining Seychelles as the second high-income economy in Africa.  The institution classifies the world’s economies into four income groups — high, upper-middle, lower-middle, and low. This is based on Gross National Income (GNI) per capita (current US$), calculated using the Atlas method. The classification is updated each year on July 1st based on the previous year’s national account information and using data provided by Statistics Mauritius for 2019.

‘It is important to note that this classification is done over 2019 data and thus does not yet reflect the economic impact of Covid-19’, said Erik von Uexküll, WB Country Representative for Mauritius. ‘It is possible that a strong recession this year due to Covid-19 would cause Mauritius to temporarily return to upper-middle income level next year once the 2020 data is considered. But in a longer-term perspective, this is a great achievement that reflects the efforts and dedication of generations of Mauritians to build a better future for their children, and I would like to congratulate the people of Mauritius for reaching this milestone.’

According to the figures released today by the World Bank, Mauritius’ GNI per capita for 2019 is US$12,740, a 3.5 percent increase over the 2018 figure. The annually adjusted high-income threshold is now at US$ 12,535.
