Budget 2026–2027: Driving Inclusive Growth in Rodrigues and the Outer Islands

Balanced development remains a core principle of national progress, ensuring that all regions of the Republic advance together. Government, through Budget 2026–2027, reiterates its continued commitment to strengthening infrastructure, connectivity and resilience in Rodrigues and the Outer Islands, with a focus on long-term sustainability and inclusiveness.

For the Rodrigues Regional Assembly, Government is providing Rs 5.5 billion for recurrent expenditure and Rs 825 million for capital expenditure. The overall Government expenditure for Rodrigues will thus reach Rs 11.2 billion.

Another key infrastructure priority remains the development of the new runway at Plaine Corail, which is expected to significantly improve air connectivity, boost tourism and strengthen economic integration.

Investment is also being channelled into road infrastructure to support the Technopark at Baladirou, facilitating innovation-driven development, entrepreneurship and job creation.

As for Agalega, Government will finalise a comprehensive Master Plan covering housing, education, healthcare, renewable energy, food security, infrastructure and climate resilience.

Moreover, the development strategy for the Outer Islands focuses on sustainability, improved accessibility and enhanced quality of life for residents, while ensuring protection against climate-related risks.
