The Republic of Mali is a landlocked country in West Africa. Mali is a semi-presidential republic, with the president as head of state. Local currency is the West African CFA-Franc (XOF). The country's official language is French. Mali is a member of the United Nations (UN), the AKT-Group and other international organisations.

Mali is a developing country, economically heavily relying on agriculture and mining as well as development aid. The main natural resources being mined are gold, iron, copper, lead, zinc and uranium. Agriculture is the country's main employment sector, providing 80% of the working population with work. Cotton and gold are the primary export products, China being the main trade partner.

Mali has a mixed legal system, mostly shaped by french law and indigenous unwritten law.

Corporate practice is regulated in the Civil Code and other legal statutes.
