The country’s fiscal status fluctuates with gold and agricultural commodity prices and the harvest; cotton and gold. Economic activity is mostly confined to the riverine area irrigated by the Niger River, and about 65% of its land area is desert or semidesert. About 10% of the population is nomadic, and about 80% of the labor force is engaged in farming and fishing. InduMali is developing its iron ore extraction industry to diversify foreign exchange earnings away from gold, but the pace will largely depend on global price trends. Mali’s economic performance has improved since 2013.
GDP is a prominent figure, as all the relevant calculations and statistics are based on it. GDP in Mali is $14.1 billion (2015 estimate).
Another important indicator is the rate of GDP growth, which in Mali is 5.3% (2016 estimate), 6% (2015 estimate) 7% (2014 estimate).

More interesting facts about Mali
A few words about the past, as every country and society, is connected to its history; The Sudanese Republic and Senegal became independent of France in 1960 as the Mali Federation. When Senegal withdrew after only a few months, what formerly made up the Sudanese Republic was renamed Mali. Rule by dictatorship was brought to a close in 1991 by a military coup that ushered in a period of democratic government. President Alpha KONARE won Mali’s first two democratic presidential elections in 1992 and 1997. In keeping with Mali’s two-term constitutional limit, he stepped down in 2002 and was succeeded by Amadou Toumani TOURE, who was elected to a second term in a 2007 election widely judged to be free and fair. Malian returnees from Libya in 2011 exacerbated tensions in northern Mali, and Tuareg ethnic militias rebelled in January 2012. Low- and mid-level soldiers, frustrated with the rebellion’s poor handling, overthrew TOURE on 22 March.
Intensive mediation efforts led by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) returned power to a civilian administration in April with Interim President Dioncounda TRAORE’s appointment. The post-coup chaos led to rebels expelling the Malian military from the country’s three northern regions and allowed Islamic militants to set up strongholds. Hundreds of thousands of northern Malians fled the violence to southern Mali and neighboring countries, exacerbating regional food shortages in host communities. An international military intervention to retake the three northern regions began in January 2013, and within a month, most of the north had been retaken. In a democratic presidential election conducted in July and August of 2013, Ibrahim Boubacar KEITA was elected president. The Malian Government and northern armed groups signed an internationally-mediated peace accord in June 2015.
In every nation’s memory, some cornerstones placed the country on the timeline of history. The date of declaration of independence of Mali: 22 September 1960 (from France).

Apart from the flag, the symbol of national unity is the national anthem. The anthem’s primary purpose is to share the nation’s core values, endeavors, and patriotic feelings.

Please bear in mind that the population in Mali is total: 100 deaths / 1,000 live births; male: 106.6 deaths / 1,000 live births, female: 93.2 deaths / 1,000 live births (2016 estimate) – as we already mentioned above.
