Bank of Mauritius Reports Significant Revenue Surge to Rs 42 Billion
The Bank of Mauritius has recorded a substantial increase in comprehensive income, reaching MUR 42 billion in January 2026. This marks a sharp rise from the MUR 31 billion reported in December 2025.
The jump in revenue comes despite a contraction in the central bank’s total assets, which fell from MUR 565 billion to MUR 553 billion over the same period.
Decline in Foreign Assets
Financial analysts note that the drop in total assets was primarily driven by a reduction in foreign holdings.
Specifically, the “Cash and Cash Equivalents” category saw a notable decline, sliding to MUR 100 billion in January from MUR 118 billion the previous month.
Liability and Investment Stability
On the other side of the balance sheet, total liabilities also decreased, falling to MUR 461 billion from MUR 484 billion in December.
Key figures within this sector remained stable, notably the liabilities attributed to the Mauritius Investment Corporation, which held firm at MUR 33 billion.
