Gold Mining (artisanal gold mining): Is it an engine of development in Mauritania?

• In 2021, Mauritania exported approximately 13 million tons of iron, 20% of which was bound for Western Europe. • The economic structure of this country is increasingly rent based. • The extractive sector does not act as a catalyst for the country's development. Its contribution to poverty reduc-tion remains insignificant. • Poverty remains a significant feature of the country, ranking 157th out of 189 according to the Human Development Index in 2020.
