We are planning a holiday from Finland to Mauritius next February. Really good info. Food is approx 20-30% cheaper in Mauritius compared to Finland. Gas is one-quarter of Finnish prices, petrol -30%, but electricity and internet services are more affordable here in Finland. Although our family is using stock prices on electricity, there is quite a lot of fluctuation in the price. It can be from -0.004€ / kW (yes companies were paying us to use electricity on short occasions during summer nights) up to 0.68€ / kW (when there was major maintenance in the Finnish electricity grid btw Sweden and Finland, one of our older nuclear powerplants had unplanned shutdown, and there is also starting maintenance break in other two old nuclear powerplants).

Hello Lucy, inflation is also a big issue in Germany: We are currently at around 8% - and shopping for certain things is no longer fun at all because the supply chains for some things are, to say it diplomatically, heavily used: at the beginning of the pandemic, it was difficult to get toilet paper at times, then yeast, flour and pasta, canned tomatoes and canned ready meals in general... now it's flour again and also sunflowers and rapeseed oil... not all of this because there weren't enough raw materials for average private consumption , but because many people buy their 10-year requirement in one day...is there this shortage (due to panic buying) on the island, too?

Soaring costs of living is not due to Ukraine or Covid but catastrophic Monetary policies taken by inept leaders at the central bank way before 2019. Key repo rate should never have slumped the way it did and that annihilated Mauritian economy, KRR falling from 5.5% in 2011 to 1.85% in 2021... The Min of Finance is also leveraging on financial malpractice like using speculative provisions from the central bank like SPV to bail out bankrupted public institutions and also use consumption as sole driver of growth. With such a policy promoting real estate and scrapping agricultural self-sufficiency no wonder inflation is hitting 11.5% according to FMI. Tough times for Mauritians right now. Meanwhile in Seychelles purchasing power is improving just like economic growth and tourism

Good day , regards from Perth Western Australia. In regards of price hikes we have only fuel going up from 1,60 Aus $ ( 1 euro) to 2.2 Aus $ ( 1.4 euro ) again if we looking Western Australia payments it is not something dramatic . Looking for pasta prices on Mauritius and here in Western Australia we can buy in shop for 99c cheapest what is around 0.60 euros to 3.99 Aus $ for most expensive brand . San Remo is around 1.5 euros for bag of pasta Prices of chicken meat are very low in WA but Lamb is very expensive . Probably from next year prices of lamb will go down coz Australia is ban export to Indonesia of live stock what will affect positively prices on domestic market in Australia. My advice get in contact with exporters from Australia and get food cheep to Mauritius. We are independent market in Australia and we do not depend from EU import . Goods from Australia and New Zealand are much cheeper then from EU . Maybe good idea is buy bulk make your own brand and just re-pack it . That is what big markets doing it like Coles and Woolworths. Pasta is Pasta really who cares for brand if you can sell it for 1 euro and price in market is 2 euros probably every one going to buy it for 1 euro anyway taste same :)
