National Savings: Mali

Analysis# Mali National Savings Mali's national savings stood at 14.735% of GDP in 2026, representing a modest recovery from recent lows but still below historical peaks. The country reached its all-time high of 18.311% in 2007, while plummeting to just 10.183% in 2023. Over the full 2004–2026 period, national savings have declined marginally by 0.2 percentage points, masking significant volatility within those two decades. A sharp contraction occurred in 2022–2023, when savings collapsed to their lowest point in the data range. Since then, Mali has shown steady improvement, with savings climbing from 10.183% in 2023 to 14.735% in 2026. This three-year recovery trajectory suggests stabilizing economic conditions, though current levels remain below the mid-2010s average, indicating Mali's savings capacity has not fully rebounded to pre-crisis strength.
