Full analysis: why Mauritania ranks #133

Why Mauritania ranks #133

Mauritania scores 42.4 out of 100 and ranks #133 among 195 countries, between Malawi above and Togo below. This figure is the Bureau’s single read on national power, built from nine components.

Strengths

The strongest component is Trajectory at 58.0: inflation tamed at 2.5%

Weaknesses

The weakest component is Reach at 8.0: a median age of 19 — a nation of children, its workforce still in the classroom; fertility of 4.8 children per woman — far above replacement, a cradle overflowing faster than schools can keep up

Trajectory

Quarterly momentum reads 0. A neutral quarter in the truest sense: nothing happened that altered the country's course or standing. The Trajectory component itself scores 58.0. On the military board the country stands at 32.0, ranked #120. Head of government: Mohamed Ould Ghazouani (President).
