What the numbers say
In 2025, Mali's broad money (current LCU) rose 12% on 2024 (from 4.81 trillion to 5.39 trillion).

This year's change was 0.1 standard deviations above that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 52% in 1974 and the biggest yearly fall was 13% in 2008. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2016 to 2025 the straight-line trend is upward, about 374.88 billion a year. A straight line explains 94% of the movement over 10 observed years.
