What the numbers say
In 2024, Mali's ICT service exports (BoP, current US$) fell 5% on 2023 (from US$181.28 million to US$172.16 million).

This year's change was 0.4 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 583.2% in 1999 and the biggest yearly fall was 36.2% in 1997. 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 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 14% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
