Abstract: |
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. |
