Economic Affairs and Development Minister Mohamedou Ould Mhaimid said the possibility of cutting fuel prices remains tied to international developments, noting that the factors driving energy prices lie beyond the government's control.
Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday evening, the minister said the authorities are working to limit the impact of the global crisis and rising energy costs on citizens.
He added that the government has taken measures and interventions to protect purchasing power, with particular attention to low-income groups, as pressures from external crises persist.
