November 13, 2019The growth slowdown became evident in late 2017. World GDP at market exchange rates slowed from a seasonally adjusted annual rate of between 4 and 5% in the second half of 2017 to between 1.5% to 2% in the first half of 2019.

Les crypto-monnaies, unités de compte cryptées ou monnaie cryptée : le cas du Bitcoin et de la LibraNovember 13, 2019La décennie 2009-2019 a vu se développer les crypto-monnaies.

Rebel groups are controlling broad swathes of the country, exploiting mineral wealth, and levying taxes on cattle migration. Non-state actors such as the Popular Front for the Governance of the Central African Republic (FPRC), which claims to “govern” the country’s northeast, have severely tested the autho ... -
November 5, 2019In this brief, we review the evidence on Morocco’s export concentration, discuss its causes, and then draw some policy implications. The main message is that Morocco needs to raise its game in some less familiar markets and move outside its comfort zone.

Over the past two ... -
