Overview

Mali’s real GDP growth has averaged 5.00 % in 2025, placing the country 31st worldwide and edging slightly above Indonesia’s 4.86 % and Kenya’s 4.82 % among its closest peers. Over the 58‑year series from 1968, when growth was 3.71 %, the economy has experienced pronounced volatility, with the sharpest expansion recorded in 2001 at 15.81 % and the deepest contraction occurring in 1982 at –8.41 %. The post‑2000 surge reflected a combination of commodity price gains, structural reforms and expanding agricultural output, while the early‑1980s downturn coincided with a severe drought and external debt pressures that curtailed investment. Recent performance suggests a gradual return to the higher‑growth regime of the early 2000s, supported by modest improvements in infrastructure and a more diversified export basket. Sustained investment in human capital and climate‑resilient agriculture will be pivotal to maintaining this upward trajectory and avoiding a repeat of the 1980s trough.
