Over the past quarter Mauritania has continued to receive disbursements on agreements that were signed during a donor-government roundtable that was held in Brussels in June 2010 (October 2010, Foreign trade and payments). Of the US$3.1bn pledged, 20% has reportedly been disbursed to the government. This is already sufficient to finance the UM130bn (US$476m) externally financed development budget for 2011-equivalent to roughly 48% of the domestically financed budget.
