During the third quarter of the year 2026, Mauritania saw its liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports grow by 16%, a figure that testifies to the gradual rise of the country's production capacities. This performance is intrinsically linked to the development of the strategic Greater Tortue Ahmeyim (GTA) gas project, located on the maritime border between Mauritania and Senegal. The implementation of this industrial complex constitutes a major lever for the country's economic growth, by diversifying its revenue sources while strengthening its positioning on the global energy market. While the figures confirm a solid progression of 16%, the long-term impact of this exploitation on national infrastructure and the well-being of the populations remains a central question for observers. The ramp-up of the GTA project, orchestrated by international players in partnership with local authorities, now places Mauritania among the new gas exporting countries in West Africa, marking a decisive step in the industrial development of the territory.
