Key figures
| Value | Year | |
|---|---|---|
| Latest | US$2.48 billion | 2021 |
| Five years earlier | US$1.19 billion | 2016 |
| Highest | US$2.48 billion | 2021 |

| First recorded | US$35.37 million | 1990 |
Over five years it is up 108.86% from US$1.19 billion in 2016 (15.87% a year on average, compounded). Since 1990 it is up 6,909% from US$35.37 million in 1990 (14.69% a year on average, compounded). The World Bank has no value for 13 of the years in between; the chart leaves those gaps open rather than joining across them.
What the numbers say
In 2021, Mauritania's adjusted net savings, excluding particulate emission damage (current US$) rose 2.9% on 2020 (from US$2.41 billion to US$2.48 billion).
Across the 16 yearly changes before that (1991 to 2020), the average change was +113% and a typical year strayed about 311.5% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.4 standard deviations below that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 1,015.6% in 1994 and the biggest yearly fall was 72.9% in 1993. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2012 to 2021 the straight-line trend is upward, about US$150.12 million a year. A straight line explains 50% of the movement over 10 observed years.
