What the numbers say
In 2025, Mali's GNI per capita (current LCU) rose 29,775 on 2024 (from 644,932 to 674,707).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +16,610 and a typical year strayed about 14,081 from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.9 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 47,527 in 2011 and the biggest yearly fall was 21,046 in 2020. 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 17,361 a year. A straight line explains 88% of the movement over 10 observed years.

A straight-line projection, tested first
Extending that straight line gives about 699,699 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 31,062, against 54,576 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.
