In October 2026, the authorities launched the National Mining Pact, a major strategic initiative that marks a turning point in the country's extractive policy. The main objective of this program is to break with the exclusive export of raw materials by promoting the local processing of ores. This paradigm shift is intended to allow Mauritania to capture greater added value directly on its soil, while diversifying its national production to reduce dependence on certain market segments. Beyond the purely industrial aspect, this pact places people at the heart of its priorities. The government is counting on this transformation to stimulate the creation of local jobs, thus offering new professional prospects to Mauritanian citizens. Benefiting from the support of international partners, this framework is part of a long-term vision, with the year 2045 on the horizon. While the ambitions displayed by this agreement are clear, the operational details concerning specific investments by sector and the concrete mechanisms for supporting local businesses remain to be specified in order to evaluate the real impact on the Mauritanian economic fabric.
