Share of World GDP: Mali

Analysis# Mali Share of World GDP Mali currently accounts for 0.036% of world GDP in 2026, matching its all-time peak reached in 2019. Since 1980, the country's share has grown 12.5%, rising from a low of 0.025% in 1988. This modest but consistent expansion reflects Mali's gradual economic development over four decades, though its contribution to global economic output remains small relative to larger African economies. The most significant trend emerged between 2020 and 2021, when Mali's share declined from 0.036% to 0.033%—a drop coinciding with regional security challenges and economic headwinds. Recovery began in 2022 and has continued steadily, with the share climbing back to 0.036% by 2026. The projected trajectory suggests stabilization at current levels through the forecast period, indicating Mali's economy is expected to grow broadly in line with global economic expansion.
