In an important step towards modernizing its economic structure, Mauritania signed an agreement with the Casablanca Stock Exchange and the Central Bank of Mauritania, with the aim of establishing the first stock market in the capital, Nouakchott. This ambitious project is part of Mauritania’s efforts to diversify its sources of financing and enhance its ability to attract foreign investments.
According to the joint statement, the agreement aims to “integrate the Mauritanian economy into the global financial system,” by providing a platform for financing projects and revitalizing the local financial market. The Central Bank of Mauritania also pledges to receive technical and operational support from the Casablanca Stock Exchange in the stages of developing the new financial market.
The Casablanca Stock Exchange is considered the second largest stock exchange on the African continent, with a capital estimated at approximately $97 billion, which reflects its advanced position in the African financial sector. For its part, the Casablanca Stock Exchange is committed to supporting this Mauritanian initiative by transferring its expertise and effective strategies in managing financial markets.
As the Mauritanian economy seeks to reduce its dependence on natural resources such as iron ore, gold and copper, this project aims to attract foreign investors by providing a more diversified and sustainable business environment. This comes at a time when Mauritania is also witnessing a boom in the gas sector, which enhances the country’s future economic prospects.
Through this cooperation, Mauritania seeks to put its foot in the global financial system, which will contribute to strengthening economic partnerships between Morocco and West African countries.
