In 2025, Mauritania's GNI per capita (current LCU) rose 4,202 on 2024 (from 82,796 to 86,998).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +2,417 and a typical year strayed about 2,885 from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.6 standard deviations above 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 7,806 in 2011 and the biggest yearly fall was 6,711 in 2014. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2016 to 2025 the straight-line trend is upward, about 3,560 a year. A straight line explains 98% of the movement over 10 observed years.
