In the Middle Ages, the kingdom of Ghana built its economy primarily on trade, particularly in gold and salt. The region's abundant gold resources attracted traders from across North Africa and beyond, establishing Ghana as a vital hub in trans-Saharan trade routes. Furthermore, the kingdom imposed taxes on goods passing through its territory, which generated significant revenue and contributed to its wealth and power. This thriving trade network facilitated cultural exchanges and the spread of Islam in the region.
Mali formed in the Southern area in what was Ghana's empire and used much of the infrastructure of the former (especially gold-mining) to make an economy more effective.

Ghana expanded its kingdom primarily through strategic trade and military conquests. Located along important trade routes, it capitalized on the lucrative gold and salt trade, attracting merchants and wealth to its territory. This economic power enabled Ghana to build a strong army, allowing it to conquer neighboring regions and integrate them into its kingdom. Additionally, diplomatic relationships and alliances further facilitated its expansion and consolidation of power.
