Mauritanias GDP (PPP) is estimated at $33.6 billion in 2025. Mauritanias economy relies on mining (iron ore, gold), fishing, and agriculture. The PPP adjustment boosts GDP due to a low cost of living. Resource wealth contrasts with widespread poverty, while infrastructure deficits and political instability limit growth. Offshore gas discoveries offer potential, but governance and security challenges hinder investment. Mauritania aims to diversify into renewable energy and improve transport, though reliance on commodity exports and external aid poses risks to economic stability.
