In plain English
The currency of Mauritius, an Indian Ocean island economy built on tourism, textiles and offshore finance.
The Mauritian rupee (MUR) is the money of Mauritius, east of Madagascar. The island lives off tourists, sugar, clothing exports and a busy offshore financial centre, so the rupee tends to soften when global travel slumps. It is a managed float that trades thinly abroad, a classic exotic.
