Анализируются структурные особенности экономики Мали, ресурсный потенциал страны и факторы, определяющие интерес США к сотрудничеству. Показано, что двусторонний товарооборот остается ограниченным и характеризуется асимметричной структурой: США выступают поставщиком промышленной и технологической продукции, тогда как экспорт Мали представлен преимущественно сырьевыми и сельскохозяйственными товарами. Рассмотрена динамика американских вложений, включая прямые инвестиции и финансирование программ развития, а также их зависимость от политической и экономической ситуации в регионе. Отмечается постепенная трансформация американского присутствия от масштабных программ помощи к более прагматичной модели, ориентированной на участие в проектах в добывающем секторе.</p><p>   Сделан вывод о том, что Мали занимает периферийное место во внешнеэкономической системе США, однако сохраняет потенциальную значимость в контексте ресурсного сотрудничества и региональной стабильности.</p><p>   Результаты исследования могут быть использованы при анализе внешнеэкономической политики США в странах Африки и оценке перспектив торгово-инвестиционного взаимодействия с государствами Сахеля.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>   The article examines the dynamics of economic interaction between the United States and the Republic of Mali at the present stage, with a focus on trade relations, investment activity and development assistance. The structural features of Mali’s economy, the country’s resource potential and the factors shaping U.S. interest in cooperation are analyzed. It is shown that bilateral trade remains limited and is characterized by an asymmetric structure: the United States acts primarily as a supplier of industrial and technological products, while Mali’s exports consist mainly of raw materials and agricultural goods. The dynamics of U.S. financial involvement, including foreign direct investment and development program funding, as well as their dependence on the political and economic situation in the region, are examined. A gradual transformation of the U.S. presence is noted: from large-scale aid programs toward a more pragmatic model focused on participation in extractive sector projects and securing access to natural resources.</p><p>   The study concludes that Mali occupies a peripheral position in the U.S. external economic system but retains potential significance in the context of resource cooperation and regional stability.</p><p>   The findings may be useful for analyzing U.S. foreign economic policy in African countries and assessing the prospects for trade and investment cooperation with the states of the Sahel region.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>международная торговля</kwd><kwd>внешнеэкономические отношения</kwd><kwd>Африка</kwd><kwd>Сахель</kwd><kwd>сырьевые ресурсы</kwd><kwd>экономическая политика</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>international trade</kwd><kwd>external economic relations</kwd><kwd>Africa</kwd><kwd>Sahel</kwd><kwd>natural resources</kwd><kwd>economic policy</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">Статья подготовлена по материалам исследований по теме государственного задания ИАфр РАН № FMZE-2025-0012 «Пространственные векторы экономических и демографических трансформаций в странах и регионах Африки в эпоху новой многополярности»</funding-statement><funding-statement xml:lang="en">The research was conducted as part of the Institute for African Studies RAS State Assignment, Project No. FMZE-2025-0012 "Spatial vectors of economic and demographic transformations in African countries and regions in the era of new multipolarity"</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Абрамова Е.
