What it is. GDP per capita divides the value of everything a country produces in a year by its population, here measured in current US dollars. It gives a rough sense of average output per person and lets countries be compared on one scale. Because it is an average in dollars at current exchange rates, it says nothing about how income is shared, about unpaid household work, or about differences in local prices.
Higher is better. A higher figure means more output for each person to share, which usually allows more spending on food, health and schooling, so higher is better. Mali's latest figure is $1,193 for 2025, up from $1,093 a year earlier, a rise of $100 or 9.1%. Within the range since 2016, it stands at the top, above the low of $872.5 recorded in 2016. That makes 2025 the highest reading of the period.
Why it matters. An average of $1,193 per person is low in absolute terms, so most households have little room beyond essentials, and a price rise in staples is felt quickly. The recent increase suggests the economy has grown faster than the population, although dollar figures also move with exchange rates. For the state, a larger economy per head widens the base it can tax, but the level remains modest against the cost of public services and security.
