Analysis# Mauritania Real GDP Growth
Mauritania's economy is projected to grow at 4.3% in 2026, representing moderate expansion after volatile decades of performance. The country peaked at 18.3% growth in 2006, driven by commodity booms, but has since experienced significant fluctuations. Since 1991, the economy has ranged from a low of -4% contraction in 1997 to the exceptional 2006 peak, with long-term growth averaging well below those extremes.
Recent years reveal a recovery pattern following the 2020 contraction of -0.4%. Strong rebounds of 6.8% in both 2022 and 2023 suggest structural economic improvements, though growth is moderating to 4.3% by 2026. The projected deceleration from 6.3% in 2024 to 4.3% in 2026 indicates normalization rather than deterioration, reflecting a stabilizing economy moving away from post-pandemic recovery gains.
