Import costs for essential goods such as food and fertilizers in Mali have risen due to a regional funding squeeze and recent geopolitical shocks, the IMF said in a statement.Upon approval by IMF Management and Executive Board, Mali would receive a disbursement that is expected to cover food provision costs, provide access to clean water, sanitation facilities and shelter for displaced people.
The Fund also said that the country's near-term outlook was uncertain due to severe electricity outages, security concerns, lower projected gold production and an election delay. Mali's economy grew by 4.4% last year, the IMF said, adding that it expects real GDP growth to slow to 3.8% in 2024.
