3 ANNUAL DIGEST OF STATISTICS 2013 FOREWORD This is the twenty-ninth issue of the Annual Digest of Statistics. It presents in a concise and readily accessible form, important statistical information available on the demographic, economic and social characteristics of Mauritius. All data in the digest are the latest available as at end of June Some of them are provisional and are therefore subject to revision in later issues. Figures in each issue of the digest supersede and replace those appearing in previous ones. Where necessary, figures have been rounded off to the nearest digit, and hence in some tables there may be slight discrepancies between the sum of the constituent items and the total given. It is hoped that the data presented will prove useful to a wide range of users, policy makers and planners as well as the general public. Readers interested in more comprehensive data may wish to consult the different publications of this office on each subject. Regular publications, including the Economic and Social Indicators, series as well as ad hoc reports issued by this office are uploaded on our website at the following address: The co-operation and assistance given by public and private organisations in providing information for the preparation of this issue, are gratefully acknowledged.
