Understand the numbers

What Mauritania's economic profile is telling you

Mauritania's current World Bank annual series reports $11.68 billion of GDP, 4.0 percent growth and 1.5 percent inflation for 2025. WTO data verify 2024 merchandise exports of about $4.15 billion, but the matched import total was not independently captured in the same pass, so no trade balance is calculated.

Reading the macro data

Nominal GDP measures current-dollar size. Real growth, inflation and unemployment describe different economic conditions and can have different reference years.

Reading the trade data

Merchandise trade covers goods. A balance appears only when exports and imports have a verified matching year and currency basis.
