Background and context

• A coup d’état on August 18, 2020 led to a period of international disengagement with Mali and an economic blockade by ECOWAS.
• Fund engagement was put on hold during this period, delaying the resumption of discussions under the 2nd and 3rd reviews of the Extended Credit Facility (ECF).
• A transitional government was appointed in October and will be in place for 18 months until general elections.
• The transitional government announced its full adherence to the international obligations and commitments of the previous government, including the reform agenda under the ECF.
• The developments occurred against the background of the pandemic shock.
