IMF flags risks to Mauritania’s fragile progress

Mauritania has made progress on macroeconomic stability, but remains vulnerable to security threats, external shocks, and structural weaknesses, the IMF warned in a recent report, according to The North Africa Post. Delays in oil and gas projects, climate change, and weak infrastructure threaten growth. The IMF urged reforms to strengthen governance, reduce reliance on extractives, and boost youth employment through inclusive development.
