The analysis reviews growth and job challenges in an economy shaped by natural resource dependence, then identifies opportunities to expand and upgrade productivity, strengthen the business environment, and leverage digital technologies. Policy reforms are prioritized to support private-sector-led diversification, create better jobs, and improve competitiveness while addressing low-carbon transition and climate resilience.","Public Disclosure Authorized  \nMauritania  \nBeyond Extractives: Unlocking Mauritania’s Potential fora Sustained, Inclusive and Resilient Growth  \nPublic Disclosure Authorized  \nPub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized  \nCOUNTRY  \nGROWTH&JOBS  \nREPORT 2025  \nCOUNTRY  \nGROWTH&JOBS  \nREPORT 2025  \n2025 The World Bank  \n1818 H Street NW, Washington DC 20433  \nTelephone: 202-473-1000; [Internet: www.worldbank.org](Internet: www.worldbank.org)  \n[Some rights reserved.](Some rights reserved.)  \nThis work is a product of The World Bank.
