Report by the WTO Secretariat
Since military power ended in 2009 Mauritania has declared that it is decisively committed to better governance which should help to reinforce its economic growth. Despite the difficult socio-political context marked by several coups d’état since the previous Review of its Trade Policy (TPR) in 2002 economic growth surged ahead after crude oil gold and copper started to be exported in 2006. Per capita income almost doubled between 2004 and 2009 reaching close to US$945 although this has not had any noticeable impact on the human development index and Mauritania remains a least developed country.
