Full analysis: why Mali ranks #101

Why Mali ranks #101

Mali scores 50.7 out of 100 and ranks #101 among 195 countries, between Rwanda above and Guinea below. This figure is the Bureau’s single read on national power, built from nine components.

Strengths

The strongest component is Trajectory at 63.4: inflation tamed at 3.2%; unemployment near 3.1% — work for whoever wants it

Weaknesses

The weakest component is Reach at 8.0: fertility of 5.3 children per woman — far above replacement, a cradle overflowing faster than schools can keep up; a median age of 16 — a nation of children, its workforce still in the classroom

Trajectory

Quarterly momentum reads 0. Steadiness was the quarter's defining trait: no rupture, no windfall, no surprise strong enough to move the score. The Trajectory component itself scores 63.4. On the military board the country stands at 41.0, ranked #51. Head of government: Assimi Goïta (President of the Transition).
