Mauritania, with a population of about 4.7 million and a GDP of approximately $8 billion in 2023, has a resource-rich economy. The per capita income is around $1,600. Key sectors include mining, particularly iron ore and gold, and fisheries.
Recent efforts aim to diversify the economy by investing in infrastructure and renewable energy. Opportunities for foreign direct investment (FDI) are significant in mining and energy, as Mauritania seeks to enhance its economic development and stability.
