Overview & Historical Context

Mauritania occupies a strategic position on the Atlantic coast of West Africa, linking North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa and international maritime markets. The country is endowed with significant reserves of iron ore, gold and copper, productive fishing grounds, and strong solar and wind resources. The commencement of production and exports from the Greater Tortue Ahmeyim gas project in 2025 marked an important step in the development of its energy sector. Mauritania is also advancing opportunities in green hydrogen, green ammonia, low-carbon iron and steel, sustainable fisheries, logistics and digital infrastructure. Continued investment in ports, transport, electricity transmission, water and skills development will be essential to convert these resources into diversified and sustainable economic growth.
