Mali’s CNT Concludes Ordinary Session, Approves Procedures Manual and 2026 Finance Law
Bamako, December 18, 2025 - The National Transitional Council (CNT) concluded its October session after 75 days of deliberations, formally approving an administrative, financial, and accounting procedures manual aimed at enhancing transparency, alongside the 2026 Finance Law.
Officials say these measures are intended to strengthen good governance during Mali’s transitional period, potentially bolstering confidence among international partners and the public. However, observers warn that without rigorous implementation, these approvals could remain largely symbolic, especially amid ongoing economic challenges.
