La verticale Afrique - Méditerranée - Europe dans le Triangle Stratégique Afrique - Europe -Amérique Latine
Authors

Related topics: 

Pour reprendre l’initiative et se doter d’un nouveau souffle, l’Europe s’ouvrir sur ses proximités : proximité géographique avec la Méditerranée et l’Afrique, et la proximité culturelle avec l’Amérique Latine. C’est ainsi que peut s’élaborer un nouveau triangle stratégique, au sein duquel le Maroc, grâce à son statut avancé dans l’espace euro-méditerranéen et à son ouverture sur l’espace sub-saharien, a un rôle tout particulier à jouer. C’est ce que nous explique notre senior fellow Fethallah Oualalou dans cette note, qui reprend son intervention lors de la 7ème rencontre sur le triangle stratégique Amérique latine/Caraïbes-Europe-Afrique organisée par l’IPDAL à Lisbonne.

    “The most severe setback since the rise of Fascism in the 1930s” The football players at the beach of Essaouira are moving barefoot through the sand, at times entangled in a clumsy ballet of bodies and legs, moving from a pas de deux to a pas de vingt deux, a movement neither choreograph, Balanchine, nor composer, Strawinski, ever created. These athletes, a few fishermen among them, are competing with the ghosts of Ronaldo, Neymar or Messi. The kids are not different from the India ...

    Good connectivity within cities is an essential input for productivity and livability in cities, but the distributive impacts of improvements in within-city mobility are not well understood. This work aims at filling this gap by exploring the impacts of alternative infrastructure investments and mobility policies on economic growth, income distribution of households and internal distribution of economic activity. This paper focuses on the estimation of the impacts of transportation ...

    January 1, 2019
    China’s dominance in the production of rare earth elements symbolizes the competition for once obscure sets of mineral resources in our increasingly digital, low carbon world. For the last two decades China has produced between 80 and 95 percent of the world’s rare earths – a group of 17 metals that have become key components of revolutionary technological progress in fields ranging from energy, to ICT, to medical devices, to defense. Despite their name, rare earths are not rare, an ...

    Rôle du régime de change flexible dans l’ajustement macroéconomique : cas du Maroc.
    Authors

    January 1, 2019
    Le Maroc a initié une première étape vers l’adoption d’un régime de change flexible, en élargissant les bandes de fluctuations à +/- 2,5% par rapport à un cours central. Cette transition permettrait à l’économie marocaine de se doter, à terme, d’un instrument macroéconomique qui joue le rôle d’amortisseur de choc et qui favorise un ajustement rapide et à moindre coût. A défaut de ce mécanisme, l’ajustement aux chocs macroéconomiques a, parfois, nécessité une contraction de la demand ...

    La domination de la Chine dans la production de terres rares illustre la compétition qui se joue autour des ressources minérales dans un monde toujours plus axé sur le numérique et le bas-carbone. Au cours des deux dernières décennies, la Chine a été à l’origine de 80 à 95 % de la production mondiale de terres rares, un groupe de 17 métaux devenus des éléments-clés de progrès technologiques révolutionnaires dans les domaines de l’énergie, des TIC, des dispositifs médicaux ou encore ...

    The Role of a Flexible Foreign Exchange System in Macroeconomic Adjustment: The Case of Morocco.
    Authors
    Abdelaaziz Ait Ali
    January 1, 2019
    Morocco has moved towards a more flexible exchange rate system, by widening its currency fluctuation bands to +/- 2.5% around a central price. This transition will, in time, equip the Moroccan economy with a macroeconomic instrument acting as a shock absorber and facilitating rapid adjustment at lower costs. In the absence of such a mechanism, adjustment to macroeconomic shocks at times requires a contraction in demand and thereby a cyclical downturn in growth to restore external ba ...
