Despite slower growth due to a decrease in extractive activities, Mauritania has shown resilience. However, its economy is vulnerable to \u201cextreme weather events\u201d and regional instabilities, the IMF said on Wednesday (18).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The IMF recommends that the Arab country continue with its \u201cprudent\u201d fiscal policy, including simplifying tax rules. If this is implemented, it would allow for more investment in infrastructure and an expansion of social spending, while maintaining debt sustainability. As a result of this economic assessment, the IMF released new installments of two financial support programs, estimated at USD 47.4 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>IMF Deputy Director and Interim President Kenji Okamura was quoted as saying in a statement that inflation remains \u201ccontained\u201d and that the officals are committed to improving political structures, strengthening the economy&#8217;s resilience, accelerating inclusive growth, and mitigating the challenges posed by climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDecisive implementation of structural reforms is key to support higher, more inclusive and diversified, private-sector-led growth. Priorities include strengthening governance and transparency, promoting financial sector development and inclusion, and implementing the governance action plan to improve the business environment,\u201d Okamura said in the statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Read more:<\/em><br><a href=\"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/mauritania-expands-iron-ore-transportation\/\">Mauritania expands iron ore transportation<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Translated by Guilherme Miranda<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"credits-overlay\" data-target=\".wp-image-380194\">\u00a9John Wessels\/AFP<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The International Monetary Fund praises the country\u2019s economic policy management and economic resilience but warns about regional instabilities and climate challenges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2316,"featured_media":380194,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[91],"tags":[51992,27134,10545,28576,9756,2781,1988,50323,12924,51993],"class_list":{"0":"post-380201","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-economy","8":"tag-climate-events","9":"tag-economia-en","10":"tag-economy-en","11":"tag-fmi-en-2","12":"tag-gdp-en","13":"tag-growth","14":"tag-imf","15":"tag-mauritania-2","16":"tag-pib-ar","17":"tag-policies"},"wps_subtitle":"The International Monetary Fund praises the country\u2019s economic policy management and economic resilience but warns about regional instabilities and climate challenges.","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/380201","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2316"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=380201"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/380201\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/380194"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=380201"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=380201"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=380201"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
