Resource-poor countries in Africa growing macroeconomic imbalances, in 2007, 10 countries with the highest earnings are the oil-rich, or rich in mineral resources, or two kinds of resources-rich countries. Countries with the highest budget deficit within the fight against the majority of repeated (for example, rainwater is not normal, political conflicts) and external blow (agricultural commodity market). These countries (including Eritrea, Ghana, Guinea, Malawi, Sao Tome and Principe and Zimbabwe) the lack of appropriate economic diversification and can not buffer them against the financial performance of their situation. Governments, in addition to rely on currency depreciation, is also relying on monetary tightening and monetary policies to prevent the acceleration of inflation led to lower growth. As the growth rate of these policies are likely to adversely affect oil-importing countries increasingly difficult macroeconomic management, the cost is growing.Mauritania is one of the world's least developed countries, economy-based fisheries and mining, agriculture and animal husbandry, economic single, abnormal weak industrial base, the majority required by the market goods, from food, light and textile industrial products to the machine are dependent on imports. Iron mining and fishing are the two pillars of the national economy, Mauritania, oil and gas industry is emerging industries. Foreign aid in national development plays an important role.

A long-term structural contradictions and the formation of the extensive growth mode still outstanding. The basic balance of international payments is an important economic objectives of countries. The national economy of many factors, such as the production fluctuations, changes in industrial structure and financial turbulence, fluctuation of commodity prices and so on, can affect the smooth realization of this goal. Foreign economic, political, and financial conditions change can also have adverse effects. In order to avoid and offset these effects need to adjust the balance of payments.

To this end, Mauritania has developed relevant policies, such as to carry out universal education, for culture and public health, to encourage private investment in the non-state sector, to encourage people to seek jobs abroad. Mauritania ideas and concepts should be changing with the development of the times. The understanding of socialism to keep up with the times. In the labor production, whether it is physical or mental, as long as nation-building benefit, which can produce high-yield, it should be recognized. Mauritania from around the world practice and experience of the successful lessons for their own good things. Of course, learn from experience of foreign countries must take into account national circumstances. The party's documents and the formulation of the principles and policies is moving in this direction, by seeking the best long-term national interest to deal with Mauritania, the current and future challenges.Mauritania, the balance of payments from 1992 to 2007 a long period of international balance of payments disequilibrium, this paper analyzes the imbalance of international payments of Mauritania and its impact on the economy.
