What the numbers say
In 2024, Mali's debt service on external debt, public and publicly guaranteed (PPG) (TDS, current US$) rose 2.6% on 2023 (from US$297.1 million to US$304.96 million).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1994 to 2023), the average change was +7.3% and a typical year strayed about 22.6% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.2 standard deviations below 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 420% in 1973 and the biggest yearly fall was 48.8% in 1974. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2015 to 2024 the straight-line trend is upward, about US$24.73 million a year. A straight line explains 98% of the movement over 10 observed years.

A straight-line projection, tested first
Extending that straight line gives about US$380.04 million for 2027. We show this only because the same method, fitted on earlier years, predicted 2022 to 2024 better than "no change" would have: its average miss was US$14.59 million, against US$25.16 million for assuming no change. Treat it as a continuation of the recent pattern, not a forecast of events: it cannot see a recession, a policy change or a revision to the data.
