Si le nombre absolu de cas d’infection à la COVID-19 est resté relativement faible en Afrique par rapport aux autres régions du monde, notamment l'Europe et l'Amérique du Nord, le virus n'en a pas moins menacé la stabilité des Etats, en exacerbant les insécurités individuelles et sociétales. Dans ce podcast, Salma Daoudi, Assistante de recherche en Relations internationales au Policy Center for the New South, explique comment les corollaires politiques, économiques, sociaux et sanitaires de la pandémie ont profondément alimenté les inégalités, et comment celles-ci risquent d'alimenter cette nouvelle tempête d'insécurités humaines, en permettant l’émergence de nouvelles formes de violence à l'encontre des populations africaines.

    Brazil is one of the countries hardest hit by COVID-19. Apart from the dramatic health implications, COVID-19 will also scar the Brazilian economy, including through a jump in its already high public-sector debt-to-GDP ratio in 2020. Moving forward—or not—with structural reforms aimed at lifting private investment will define whether a sustainableor unsustainable—growth-cum-debt trajectory will prevail in the next decade. The extent to which Brazil regains its attractiveness for for ...

    The COVID-19 pandemic has hit the Moroccan economy hard, as elsewhere in the world. A collapse in external demand and a lockdown lasting more than three months have profoundly altered economic activity in Morocco, causing its first recession since 1995. The implementation of the confinement and social distancing measures was strict and came two weeks after the detection of the first cases of COVID-19 in Morocco on March 2, 2020. The lockdown was extended three times and lasted aroun ...

    L’économie marocaine fait face à une année 2020 extrêmement difficile et complexe. La crise provoquée par le choc de la Covid-19 est singulière, multicanale et fondamentalement différente des crises précédentes. Elle altère le système productif par un double choc d’offre et de demande, amplifié, de passage, par une crise de confiance. Alors que l’année 2020 touche à sa fin, il est crucial de dresser une première évaluation circonstanciée des ramifications de cette crise, qui permett ...

    This paper explores the use of simulations in policy decision-making in the Brazilian State of São Paulo in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic. We propose a methodology for assessing the daily economic costs of control strategies for mitigating the effects of coronavirus. The method is based on the partial hypothetical extraction approach to input–output systems. Simulated daily scenarios based on different levels of compliance to the control measures are used to help guide the design o ...
