Mali's final consumption expenditure (current LCU) was 14.8 trillion in 2025, the latest year in the World Bank's World Development Indicators. That is up 82.1% from 8.13 trillion in 2015 (6.18% a year on average, compounded).

What the numbers say
In 2025, Mali's final consumption expenditure (current LCU) rose 6.7% on 2024 (from 13.87 trillion to 14.8 trillion).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +8.3% and a typical year strayed about 5.7% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.3 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 51.8% in 1980 and the biggest yearly fall was 11.4% in 1987. 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 683.8 billion a year. A straight line explains 96% of the movement over 10 observed years.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
A straight-line projection, tested first
Extending that straight line gives about 16.15 trillion for 2028. We show this only because the same method, fitted on earlier years, predicted 2023 to 2025 better than "no change" would have: its average miss was 1.05 trillion, against 1.61 trillion 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.

What this measures
Final consumption expenditure is expenditure on goods and services by resident institutional units for the direct satisfaction of human needs or wants, whether individual or collective. Final consumption expenditure can be measured for households, general government, the central bank and non-profit institutions serving households. This indicator is expressed in current prices, meaning no adjustment has been made to account for price changes over time. This series is expressed in local currency units.
