Statement by IMF Deputy Managing Director Kenji Okamura at the Conclusion of a Visit to Mauritania
March 10, 2023
“The movements in international commodity prices have also worsened the external position. Preliminary data suggest that the current account deficit doubled to 16.4 percent of GDP in 2022, due to pressures on international food and energy prices and the decline of iron ore prices. By end-2022, international reserves declined to $1.9 billion compared to $2.3 billion at end-2021. Growth is expected to have accelerated to 5.3 percent in 2022, mainly driven by the recovery in the extractive sector. After reaching a peak of 12.7 percent in October 2022, inflation decelerated to 10.3 percent in January 2023 in response to the central bank of Mauritania (BCM) monetary policy tightening.
