[HIGHLIGHTS] Mali's exit from ECOWAS: update on the economic and human consequences

Mali announced on Sunday February 4 its exit from the Economic Community of West African States. The withdrawal of Mali, Niger and Burkina, although announced as immediate, must take a year.

Mali's main wealth is gold, which represents a quarter of its fiscal resources and more than 75% of its exports. To South Africa, Australia and Switzerland. No impact to be expected for the finances of the Malian state in this regard. Remaining in UEMOA limits the damage of Mali's exit from ECOWAS.
