Mali's control of corruption has experienced significant fluctuations over the past 26 years. The country's all-time peak of -0.43 in 2007, placing it 74th globally, suggests a relatively stable period under President Amadou Toumani Touré's leadership. However, the subsequent years have seen a decline, with the latest value of -0.96 in 2025 ranking Mali 163rd worldwide, surpassing Afghanistan's score of -0.95. This downward trend is concerning, as it indicates a worsening of corruption in the country. Mali's struggles with governance and security have likely contributed to this decline. The trough in 2025 marks a new low for the country, underscoring the need for effective measures to combat corruption. To reverse this trend, Mali will need to implement robust institutional reforms and strengthen its anti-corruption mechanisms, a challenging task that will require sustained international support and cooperation.
