In the UEMOA Zone, Mali is ranked the first most attractive country for business. It is second in the ECOWAS zone, ^15th in the African continent. Globally, the country is in ^104th place.

The ranking given to Mali is explained by the chamber of commerce and industry by the fact that Mali has adopted strategies allowing trade with other countries. For them, operators still recommend industrialization at the local level, “a guarantee of economic development”.
