Description
Summary:The staff report for the Second Review Under the Three-Year Arrangement Under the Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility highlights the Islamic Republic of Mauritania's economic and financial policies.

Monetary policy remained prudent, contributing to a further decline in inflation.
