Seychelles scores 68/100 (Grade B), ranking 4th of 54 African markets and up 1 point since Jan 2026. Its strongest pillar is Power Infrastructure at 100 of 100, with three of five pillars rated green. Its largest drag is Market Demand, at 53 of 100.
Each pillar carries its own strength out of 100, banded red, amber or green. Arrows mark movement since the previous snapshot.
The composite out of 100 is the weighted sum of these five pillars. A pillar’s figure is its own strength out of 100, measured against the most that pillar could contribute, which is what the red, amber and green bands read against. Full method

Intelvision landed the 2Africa cable at Mahé in April 2023 in partnership with Vodafone, adding over 600Gbps of international capacity under a 15-year deal worth about $32m.
