The International Monetary Fund released its World Economic Outlook, projecting Mauritania's 2026 real growth at 4.4%, which is a reduction from the 4.7% projected in June. The fund also forecasts that average consumer prices in Mauritania will rise 8.0% in 2026, significantly higher than the 1.6% projected for 2025. The IMF estimates the size of Mauritania's economy will be about US$14.3 billion in 2026.

Why it matters

These projections affect Mauritania's economic stability, particularly as the country operates under an IMF loan program. Kosmos, which is a partner in Mauritania's offshore gas project, operates within this economic environment. The inflation and growth figures provide context for the nation's fiscal outlook.
