Mauritania, a nation bridging West and North Africa, is undergoing significant economic changes driven by the mining industry, green hydrogen, and natural gas sectors. President Ould Ghazouani has expressed intentions to enhance the mining industry's scale if re-elected, emphasizing the sector's strategic importance for Mauritania's growth. The African Development Bank (AfDB) has played a pivotal role in supporting Mauritania's development journey, with substantial investments in critical infrastructure such as widening access channels to mineral ports like Nouadhibou. The AfDB's involvement underscores the collaboration between external partners and Mauritania to foster economic progress. Moreover, the African Economic Outlook report, unveiled during the Bank's Annual Meetings, paints a promising picture of Africa's growth trajectory, positioning the continent as the second fastest-growing region after developing Asia for the upcoming years. This positive outlook bodes well for Mauritania's aspirations to leverage mining and green hydrogen to unlock its full economic potential.
