March 20, 2020The Service sector is central to economic growth, trade and employment across the world. Trade in services has increased from 8.5 per cent of global GDP in 1995 to 13.1 per cent of GDP in 2017. However, Africa is taking less advantage of these opportunities than others. In this policy brief we highlight important misconceptions that may be holding back services exports in Africa. The potential for services sector growth and services exports from low levels in Africa is large. Polici ... -
March 20, 2020L'épidémie de coronavirus vient encore davantage affaiblir les économies du golfe de Guinée déjà particulièrement fragilisées par un secteur pétrolier localement en crise depuis plusieurs années. La rapide baisse des cours va mettre à nouveau à rude épreuve des systèmes qui ne parviennent pas à se réinventer et à se diversifier afin de se prémunir des travers souvent constatés au sein des Etats rentiers. Outre l'impact économique, ce sont également les potentielles difficultés d'ord ... -

Cette intégration est de plus en plus observable dans divers secteurs d’activité : (infrastructures numériques, banques, assurances, éducation, commerce, etc.). En Afrique, la course aux technologies et aux services numériques suscite des questions majeures, non seulement sur la place du c ... -

March 12, 2020For a second, the uniformed officer looked threatening. He followed me. When I reached the stairs leading to my Transavia flight to Paris, he stepped in front of me, asking, “Sir, may I talk to you for a second?” Did he suspect I was smuggling precious Islamic art or some cannabis, the popular Kif? “When are you returning to Marrakech,” the customs officer inquired. “In four days”, I replied. “Perfect,” was his reaction. “May I ask you to buy in a French pharmacy the drugs mentioned ...

March 10, 2020العولمة حاضرة بقوة، تطوقنا، تصنع العالم وتؤثر على حياة الناس يومياً وفي علاقتهم بالزمان و المكان. بعضهم ينتجوا ويفرضون من خلال ذلك مرجعيتهم، والجميع يستهلكوا، وكثير من الناس يتحملون عبئها. العولمة كانت عبر التاريخ مرتبطة بالفتوحات والهيمنة ولا تزال كذل ك . ولدت في أحضان الفتوحات الكبرى انطلاق اً من المتوسط الغربي عندما انطلق الإيبيريون عبر ا لمح يط الأطلسي ليصلوا إلى ما سمي بالعالم الجديد أي القارة الأمريكي ة . فكانت انطلاقتها عندما غادر البحارة البحار، خاصة البحر الأبيض المتوسط و ... -
March 10, 2020L’avènement de la quatrième Révolution industrielle et les mutations qu’elle implique dans le monde du travail nous obligent à nous intéresser à l’histoire de l’Organisation Internationale du Travail (OIT) et à s’interroger sur le devenir de ses apports en matière de protection des droits des travailleurs. C’est dans cette perspective que le Policy Center for the New South, en partenariat avec Geneva Institute et la Revue internationale de politique de développement, a organisé, le ...

March 9, 2020The Moroccan diaspora contributes in major ways to Morocco’s economic development. Moroccan migrants ease the country’s chronic unemployment and underemployment problems, send remittances, invest in the home country, and typically visit Morocco frequently as tourists. In addition to that migrants usually retain close links with Morocco, and help in less direct ways to forge trade and third-party investment links between Morocco and their host countries. Drawing on the relatively sma ... -
March 9, 2020Almost 25 years have passed since the fourth world conference on women in Beijing in 1995. At that time, governments and women’s rights organizations adopted the Beijing Platform for Action to advance women’s rights globally. In November 2019, I attended the Paris Peace Forum panel discussion on ‘how to make the Generation Equality Forum of May-July 2020 a transformational moment’. Also in 2019, France and Mexico agreed to host the Generation Equality Forum in 2020. This Forum, conv ...

February 24, 2020The outbreak in China has already affected economic sectors in Latin America. Is there more to come? China’s economy has come to a sudden stop. Large parts of the country remain in shutdown mode after the end of the Lunar New Year holiday, with national passenger traffic declining by 85% on the Wednesday after the break compared to 2019. Outside of China, the impact of the slowdown has already been felt, with companies like Apple and Land Rover warning of lower production, as pa ...
