Mauritius still ranks among the top 10 on the 2015 Index of Economic Freedom |
|
|
With an economic freedom score of 76.4, Mauritius is the 10th freest country in the 2015 Index.
Mauritius’ overall score is essentially unchanged from last year, with a negative score change of 0.1 point causing it to slide from 8th position in 2014 to 10th this year. This decline in the score is a result of a significant decline in labor freedom that overshadows gains in the control of government spending, business freedom, and monetary freedom.
Nevertheless Mauritius remains 1st out of 46 countries in the Sub-Saharan African region on the Index of Economic freedom since 2007.
