Abstract

This paper analyzes the combined impact of persistent insecurity and ECOWAS economic sanctions on budgetary sustainability and economic growth in Mali from 1991 to 2025. Using a mixed-methods approach—an ARDL model and forty semi-structured interviews—the studyfinds that productive public spending and investment in human capital drive growth, while recurrent debt-financed expenditures, regional sanctions, and insecurity have lasting negative effects. It calls for a strategic shift toward productive investment, prudent debt management, and diversification beyond ECOWAS. The study highlights the need to balance immediate security needs with long-term development goals, offering practical recommendations for policymakers in Sahelian contexts.
