Mauritania's remittances received have experienced significant fluctuations over the past three decades. The country's all-time peak of 168,665,175.56 in 2020, followed by a slight decline in 2025 to 112,576,312.53, marks a substantial decrease in remittance inflows. Conversely, the all-time trough of 307,104.53 in 1977 showcases the country's vulnerability to external economic shocks. Mauritania's position at 153 globally in 2025 is comparable to that of Solomon Islands, which ranks 146, and Bhutan, ranking 147. In comparison, Chile's remittances received in 2025, at 112,552,981.84, are almost identical to Mauritania's, while St. Vincent and the Grenadines' 104,848,679.89 is lower. The trend in remittances received highlights Mauritania's reliance on external financial support, which underscores the importance of diversifying its economy to reduce dependence on remittances. A significant devaluation of the Mauritanian ouguiya against major currencies could alter the trajectory of remittances received, potentially leading to increased inflows.
