Summary

The Mauritanian economy is expected to slow down in 2024 with a growth rate estimated at 4.6 percent (compared to 6.5 percent in 2023), reflecting sluggish extractive sector. Inflation is contained and the current account (CA) deficit is narrowing. The outlook is subject to significant risks, including an escalation of geopolitical tensions in the region, and weather shocks. Moreover, challenges related to infrastructure, governance, vulnerability to economic shocks, and limited economic diversification constrain Mauritania’s economic development.
