The Malian government has examined its Multi-year Budgetary and Economic Programming Document (DPBEP) for the 2027-2029 period, projecting average real economic growth of 6.5 percent and an average annual cost of government action estimated at 4,382.9 billion FCFA.
Presented during a Council of Ministers meeting, the framework will guide the preparation of future finance bills and outlines the country’s economic assumptions, revenue forecasts, spending priorities and budget targets.
Authorities say the projections are based on expected improvements in the security situation, ongoing reforms and increased domestic resource mobilization.
The government is also targeting a gradual increase in the tax burden, from 13.9 percent in 2027 to 15.1 percent by 2029, as part of efforts to boost revenue collection and reduce dependence on external financing.
The framework aligns with Mali’s long-term development agenda and follows the 2026 Finance Law, which projected a budget deficit of more than 520 billion FCFA.
Officials say the success of the plan will depend on factors including security conditions, agricultural and mining sector performance, trade growth, access to financing and the continued implementation of economic reforms.
