Mali Company & Beneficial Ownership Directory
Company register search for 5,610 Mali companies, plus shareholder, officer and beneficial ownership records sourced directly from official government registries.
Mali company register data is held on the Registre du Commerce et du Crédit Mobilier (RCCM, Trade and Personal Property Credit Register), kept at the Tribunal de Commerce under OHADA's Acte Uniforme relatif au Droit Commercial Général, with extracts available publicly for a fee. Beneficial-ownership declarations are required alongside RCCM filings under the same Acte Uniforme, using a template issued by Mali's tax directorate, the DGI. Only in one sector: a dedicated public Registre des Bénéficiaires Effectifs covers extractive-industry entities specifically, created by Décret n°2022-0107/PT-RM of 22 February 2022, while every other sector's beneficial-owner data stays inside the general OHADA declaration rather than a public register.

Analysis
What this data actually tells you about Mali
Mali is a landlocked West African economy of roughly 24.9 million people (2025 estimate) whose currency is the CFA franc (XOF), pegged to the euro at a fixed rate of 655.957 XOF/EUR and shared with the seven other members of the West African Economic and Monetary Union (UEMOA/WAEMU), under the regional central bank BCEAO. GDP per capita stood at approximately $1,193 in 2025, up from $1,093 in 2024. According to the African Development Bank’s 2025/2026 country outlook, real GDP growth accelerated to 5.6% in 2025 from 5.0% in 2024, driven by agricultural production (+7.9%), extractive industries (+11.5%, including the start of lithium production), and transport/hospitality services (+4.5%). Inflation held at 3.2% in 2025 (same as 2024), though the fiscal deficit widened to 3.0% of GDP in 2025 (from 2.3% in 2024) on reconstruction and security spending — 31.8% of total spending went to conflict-zone reconstruction and 31.4% to military/security outlays. Mali’s economy is structurally anchored by gold mining (by far its dominant export) and, historically, cotton, which remains its leading agricultural export crop; the economy also remains 34–90% informal depending on measurement methodology.
Gold dominated Mali’s export basket, representing roughly 80% of total exports in 2024 ($704 million), headed mainly to Uganda, Australia, Switzerland, France and Turkey (largely trading/refining hubs). Cotton exports, by contrast, have fallen sharply in value — from $256 million in 2020 to $69.7 million in 2024 — despite Mali reclaiming the top spot in African seed-cotton production in the 2024/2025 campaign. As a landlocked country, Mali depends on regional port corridors, chiefly Dakar (Senegal) and Abidjan (Côte d’Ivoire), for the great majority of its imports, including an estimated 95% of its fuel, trucked overland. Gold mining is dominated by foreign majors: Barrick Mining (Loulo-Gounkoto complex), B2Gold (Fekola Complex) and Allied Gold (Sadiola mine). Relations between the military government and Barrick deteriorated sharply through 2024–2025 under Mali’s new 2023 mining code: Malian forces seized over one tonne of gold from Loulo-Gounkoto in July 2024, then roughly three tonnes (~$245 million) in January 2025, detained four Barrick employees, and placed the complex under provisional state administration. This was resolved in November 2025 when Barrick agreed to pay Mali approximately $430 million to settle all disputes and regain operational control; Mali separately renewed Barrick’s Loulo permit for 10 years. State gold revenue nonetheless rose 52.5% in 2024 even as national gold output fell to an estimated 58.7 tonnes, the first time below 60 tonnes in over three years. On regional integration, Mali formally exited ECOWAS on January 29, 2025 together with Burkina Faso and Niger, forming the Alliance of Sahel States (AES), which launched a joint Sahel passport the same day.
Mali has been under military rule since Colonel Assimi Goïta’s coups of August 2020 and May 2021. Presidential elections originally scheduled for February 2024 were postponed indefinitely in September 2023; a national dialogue in May 2024 recommended extending the transition to 2027, and on July 4, 2025, Mali’s transitional parliament formally extended Goïta’s presidential term for five years, renewable, without a specified election date, keeping him in office at least until 2030. The country faces an active jihadist insurgency involving JNIM and the Islamic State Sahel Province, which contest or control substantial parts of northern and central Mali. In 2025, the UN’s Humanitarian Response Plan estimated 6.4 million people (28% of the population) required humanitarian assistance; IOM/DTM recorded 402,167 internally displaced persons as of December 2024. Beginning September 3, 2025, JNIM imposed a fuel blockade on Bamako and other government-held areas, destroying over 300 fuel tankers; the blockade caused fuel shortages, school closures, and electricity disruptions, and by November 2025 was described by the UN Secretary-General as risking a “disastrous domino effect” across the region. More than 2,314 schools were reported non-functional due to insecurity as of November 2025, affecting roughly 694,200 children. Counterparties verify a specific counterparty’s current exposure to Mali’s security situation and fuel-supply dependency directly.

Who uses Mali ownership data
The three checks this page's data is most often run for.
KYB onboarding
Verifying a Mali counterparty means confirming the beneficial owner behind the entity and evidencing where that answer came from, not just pulling the registered name.
AML and sanctions screening
Sanctions exposure often sits above the operating company, in a holding layer registered elsewhere. Screening the local entity alone will not surface it; screening the resolved ownership chain will.
Supplier and credit risk
Filed accounts cover a limited share of the register in most jurisdictions, so group membership is often a better solvency signal than a standalone balance sheet.
