The recent economic analyses published by Global Data show that the current state of the Mauritanian economy is worrying. Mauritania has entered the list of countries in the Middle East and Africa that are exposed to a high level of inflation. This worries economists.

Mauritania joins 14 countries whose economic situation is experiencing serious difficulties: Congo, Burundi, Chad, Libya, Mozambique, Yemen, Mali, Guinea-Bissau, Angola, Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Syria. Indeed, global geopolitical tensions and high rates of food insecurity and poverty will continue to negatively affect the economies of these countries

In reality, dependence on food imports is significant and disruptions in food supply chains due to factors such as the conflict in Ukraine and others still pose great challenges in Mauritania and other countries in Africa.
