Mauritania's gdp per capita ppp was $8,775 in 2025, ranked 135th globally. This represents a 19.1% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2025.
Overview
Mauritania's gdp per capita ppp stood at $8,775 in 2025, a rise of +$1,406 from 2024. The IMF projects $8,775 by 2025. Mauritania ranked 135th globally.
Mauritania’s GDP per capita measured in purchasing power parity terms has risen from 2,070.29 in 1990 to 8,774.94 in 2025, marking a 324 percent increase over 36 years and placing the country at rank 135 globally. The 2025 figure represents both the latest observation and the all‑time peak, surpassing the trough recorded at the start of the series. This upward trajectory mirrors the experience of peers such as the Kyrgyz Republic, whose 2025 level of 8,870.37 sits slightly above Mauritania’s, and Cambodia, at 8,707.07, indicating that Mauritania is converging with other lower‑middle‑income economies that have benefited from modest reforms and commodity price gains. The sustained rise reflects gradual diversification away from a reliance on iron‑ore exports toward services and modest manufacturing growth. Continued investment in human capital and infrastructure, coupled with stable macro‑economic policies, will be essential to maintain the positive trend and potentially lift Mauritania into a higher global ranking.
