Latest Financial Arrangements:

^1/ Assistance committed under the original framework is expressed in net present value (NPV) terms at the completion point, and assistance committed under the enhanced framework is expressed in NPV terms at the decision point. Hence these two amounts cannot be added.

^2/ Under the enhanced framework, an additional disbursement is made at the completion point corresponding to interest income earned on the amount committed at the decision point but not disbursed during the interim period.

Implementation of Multilateral Debt Relief Initiative (MDRI):

^1/ The MDRI provides 100 percent debt relief to eligible member countries that qualified for the assistance. Grant assistance from the MDRI Trust and HIPC resources provide debt relief to cover the full stock of debt owed to the Fund as of end-2004 that remains outstanding at the time the member qualifies for such debt relief.

Implementation of Catastrophe Containment and Relief (CCR): Not Applicable As of February 4, 2015, the Post-Catastrophe Debt Relief Trust has been transformed to the Catastrophe Containment and Relief (CCR) Trust.

Decision Point:

Point at which the IMF and the World Bank determine whether a country qualifies for assistance under the HIPC Initiative and decides on the amount of assistance to be committed.

Interim Assistance:

Amount disbursed to a country during the period between decision and completion points, up to 20 percent annually and 60 percent in total of the assistance committed at the decision point (or 25 percent and 75 percent, respectively, in exceptional circumstances).

Completion Point:

Point at which a country receives the remaining balance of its assistance committed at the decision point, together with an additional disbursement of interest income as defined in footnote 2 above. The timing of the completion point is linked to the implementation of pre-agreed key structural reforms (i.e., floating completion point).

Safeguards Assessments: Safeguards assessments: An updated assessment of the BCEAO conducted in 2018 is substantially complete. The assessment found that the bank continues to have a strong control environment and governance framework. Following previous assessments recommendations, the bank adopted International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in 2015 and the selection criteria for the external auditors was strengthened. The audited financial statements in the period since the last assessment in 2013 have had unmodified (clean) audit opinions and are published on a timely basis.

Exchange Rate Arrangements:

Mali is a member of the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU). The union’s common currency, the CFA franc, was pegged to the French franc at the rate of CFAF 50 = FF 1 from 1948 until early 1994. Effective January 12, 1994, the CFA franc was devalued, and the new parity set at CFAF 100 = FF 1. Effective January 1, 1999, the CFA franc was pegged to the Euro at a rate of CFAF 655.96 = EUR 1.

Mali accepted the obligations of Article VIII, Sections 2, 3, and 4 on June 1, 1996. Mali’s exchange system has no restrictions on making payments or transfers for current international transactions and the country does not engage in multiple currency practices.

Sharing a common trade policy with other members of WAEMU, Mali has shifted key trade policymaking to the sub-regional level. The common external tariff (CET) was adopted in January 2000. Mali complies with the union’s tariff rate structure and has effectively dismantled internal tariffs. Between 1997 and 2003, WAEMU tariff reform reduced the simple average custom duty from 22 percent to 15 percent; the maximum rate is currently 20 percent. Imports to Mali are not subject to quantitative restrictions.

Mali’s exports to the European Union generally enjoy non-reciprocal preferential treatment in the form of exemption from import duties under the Everything but Arms initiative. Malian goods enjoy nonreciprocal preferential access to the markets of developed countries other than the European Union under the Generalized System of Preferences. Mali is also eligible to benefit from the United States’ African Growth and Opportunity Act. Mali imposes no de jure restrictions on exports.

Article IV Consultations:

Mali is on a 24-month consultation cycle. The Executive Board completed the last Article IV consultation (Country Report No. 15/339) on December 2, 2015.

Mali—Statistical Issues Appendix

(As of April 4, 2018)

I. Assessment of Data Adequacy for Surveillance
General: Data provision has some shortcomings, but is broadly adequate for surveillance.
National Accounts: Annual data are compiled with an outdated base year (1999). No quarterly data are available. With support from AFRITAC West efforts are under way to rebase GDP to 2015 and develop quarterly estimates. These data are expected to be released in 2019.
Price Statistics: In concert with the other member countries of the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU), the authorities have been compiling and timely publishing a harmonized consumer price index (CPI) for Bamako on a monthly basis since early 1998. The harmonized CPI has an outdated base year (2008).
Government Finance Statistics: Broadly adequate. As part of the process of economic integration among the member countries of the WAEMU, the country has made significant progress in bringing its fiscal data in line with the common framework that has been developed with IMF technical assistance (the harmonized table of government financial operations – TOFE based on the Government Finance Statistics Manual 1986 (GFSM 1986). However, further efforts are needed to improve the timeliness and coverage of the TOFE and to progressively migrate towards GFSM 2001/2014 as required by the WAEMU 10/2009 TOFE Directive. Work is progressing with the assistance of STA, AFRITAC West and AFRISTAT to expand the coverage of the TOFE to public agencies and local governments, as well as to strengthen coverage of domestic financing items. Quarterly budget execution reports are posted on the Ministry of Finance website on a timely basis. Annual data for the budgetary central government are sent to STA for the Government Finance Statistics Yearbook.
Monetary and Financial Statistics: MFS are broadly adequate and their institutional coverage is comprehensive. The dissemination of monthly monetary data from the Central Bank of West African States (BCEAO) takes four to six weeks consistent with e-GDDS recommendations. In August 2016, the BCEAO completed the migration of Mali’s MFS to the standardized report forms (SRFs) for the central bank and other depository corporations.
Financial Sector Surveillance: The BCEAO recently finalized the development of FSIs for deposit takers for Mali. Regular reporting to the IMF’s Statistics Department STA is expected to begin by December 2018.
External Sector Statistics: Since 2011, the balance of payments and international investment positions (IIP) statistics are compiled in conformity with the Balance of Payments and International Investment Position Manual, Sixth Edition (BPM6). The national directorate of the BCEAO is responsible for compiling and disseminating these statistics, and the BCEAO headquarters for delineating the methodology and calculating the international reserves managed on behalf of the participating countries. Balance of payments and IIP statistics are published with a lag of less than a year—the latest data published on the website of the BCEAO are for 2016. Mali has been participating in the Coordinated Direct Investment Survey (CDIS) since 2011.
II. Data Standards and Quality
Mali has been participating in the General Data Dissemination System (GDDS) (and its successor e-GDDS) since September 2001.	No data ROSC mission has been done in Mali.
