Mauritius has set itself an unusually ambitious long-term economic roadmap: the **Vision 2050** plan targets tripling the island's GDP from the current **$15.5 billion** to **$50 billion** by 2050\. Achieving this will require annual growth of around **4-5%**, well above the roughly 2% recorded in recent years.

## Eight sectors to build tomorrow's economy

Vision 2050 identifies eight priority sectors expected to represent **80% of Mauritius's GDP** by 2050, up from about 50% today. Financial and professional services lead the way with a $14 billion projection, followed by advanced manufacturing ($6B), tourism and hospitality ($5B), ICT and digital ($4B), logistics and port ($3B), blue economy ($3B), high-value agriculture ($3B), and life sciences and pharma ($2B).

## The human capital challenge

The plan flags a major structural risk: a potential shortfall of **390,000 to 500,000 workers** by 2050\. The Vision 2050 response includes raising female and youth participation rates, extending professional careers for older workers, and strategically attracting skilled foreign talent.

The roadmap draws on broad public consultations — including Rodrigues island — and ongoing dialogue with economic stakeholders. Integration into the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) is cited as an additional lever.

## Why it matters

By 2050, Mauritius would be the only Indian Ocean economy to cross the $50 billion GDP threshold. For investors, this plan signals stability and predictability. For local businesses, it maps out which sectors will attract public funding and tax incentives over the next 25 years.
