The Central Bank of Mauritania (, BCM; ) is the central bank of Mauritania, in northwest Africa. The bank is located in the capital Nouakchott, just south of the Presidential Palace. Its current Governor is Mohamed Lemine Ould Dhehby.[2]

History

The bank was created by acts of the legislature of Mauritania, in 1973, 1974 and 1975.[3] It was established by President Moktar Ould Daddah after he withdrew Mauritania from the French-dominated monetary consortium, the Communauté Financière Africaine.[4]
