To support economic recovery within their area heavily affected in 2020 by the impacts of the Coronavirus pandemic but also by the security crisis affecting certain countries, the States of the WAEMU area plan to raise 1,075 billion FCFA in anticipation of the third quarter of 2021. In line, the State of Mali intends to strengthen its presence.

258.30 billion is the volume mobilized by Mali in the first quarter on the Public Securities Market issued by auction. A performance that gives it second place in the ranking, after Côte d'Ivoire, in terms of volume raised on this market during the same period. Space investors are committed alongside Mali to support its economic growth during this quarter. They largely subscribed to the six interventions launched by Bamako, proposing more than 500 billion FCFA. During the same period, the country appealed, on February 24 and March 31, for Recovery Bonds. During the first issue, it raised 87.8 billion. Bamako collected 44 billion FCFA during the second OdR issue. In the third quarter of 2021, 1,075 billion FCFA will be sought.

The provisional timetable for government securities issues for the third quarter of 2021 indicates indicative programs available to date for seven Member States of the Union, namely Benin, Burkina, Côte d'Ivoire, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Niger and Togo. According to this provisional quarterly programme, the provisional volume of issues amounts to 1,075 billion FCFA, broken down according to the instruments as follows: 380 billion Treasury bills and 695 billion Treasury bonds.
