The World Bank has urged Mauritania to adopt decisive reforms to safeguard macroeconomic stability and promote more inclusive and sustainable economic growth.
In a statement shared on social media, the Bank stressed the critical need for economic diversification, highlighting the overreliance on the mining sector as a major vulnerability.
It recommended that revenues from mining be channeled into non-extractive sectors such as agriculture, industry, and services to create jobs and support long-term development. The Bank also called for the continuation of sound fiscal and monetary policies to enhance Mauritania’s resilience to external shocks, ensure price stability, and achieve balanced growth.
