Mauritania GNI per Capita
GNI divided by midyear population NY.GNP.PCAP.CD
Mauritania's gni per capita was $2,299 in 2025, ranked 160th globally. This represents a 8.4% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1963–2025.
Overview
Mauritania's gni per capita stood at $2,299 in 2025, a rise of +$179 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $2,299 by 2025. Mauritania ranked 160th globally.
Mauritania’s gross national income per capita has risen dramatically over the 63‑year series, climbing from a trough of 180.00 in 1963 to an all‑time peak of 2,299.00 in 2025, placing the country at rank 160 globally. This long‑run increase reflects gradual diversification of the economy, modest improvements in productivity, and expanding access to education and health services, albeit at a slower pace than many regional peers. For instance, Ghana recorded 2,338.00 and the Republic of Congo 2,317.00 in the same year, while Kenya lagged slightly at 2,190.00 and Nigeria stood at 1,971.00, underscoring Mauritania’s position near the lower middle of the sub‑Saharan distribution. The upward trajectory suggests that continued investment in mining, fisheries and renewable energy, coupled with structural reforms to enhance private‑sector participation, could sustain growth and potentially lift Mauritania closer to the income levels of its higher‑ranked neighbours.
