What the numbers say

Short term

The latest readings
  • The latest figure is MVR 997.4 million for Q2 2026, up 5.7% from Q1 2026 and up 13.8% on the same quarter a year earlier.
  • In the first 2 quarters of 2026 the total was MVR 1.94 billion, up 11.8% on the same stretch of 2025.
  • Over the latest 12 months it came to MVR 3.77 billion, up 9.9% on the 12 months before.
  • The change on a year earlier averaged +11.8% over the last two quarters, against +8.0% in the two quarters before: the year-on-year pace has picked up.

Long term

The record as a whole
  • Trend growth over the past 10 years is 7.2% a year (least-squares fit on the logarithm; R² 0.97, a close fit, so the series has followed a steady path).
  • Measured end to end, compound growth is 6% a year over five years and 6.8% a year over ten, on 12-month totals.
  • The latest figure (12-month total) is the highest on record.
  • Year-on-year growth has typically varied by about 6.7 percentage points (one standard deviation) over the past five years.

How to read this series

Quarterly national accounts. Output each quarter, in total and by industry, at constant prices. Compare a quarter with the same quarter a year earlier: tourism makes some quarters reliably busier than others. Gross value added (GVA) is output by industry; adding taxes on products and subtracting subsidies gives GDP at market prices.

  • Measured at constant prices, so changes reflect volumes rather than prices. The level depends on the base year; the growth rate is the meaningful reading.
  • A flow: it measures activity during each quarter, and quarters add up to an annual total.
  • Recent periods are often revised as fuller data arrive. The version comparison below shows what MMA has changed since this site began keeping copies.

Terms such as percentage points, flows and stocks, and trend growth are explained in How to read the tracker.
