Le Policy Center for the New South organise un webinaire mercredi 3 février 2021 à 15h (GMT+1) consacré à la présentation de son Rapport Annuel sur l’Economie de l’Afrique 2020. A cette occasion, plusieurs auteurs du rapport présenteront le fruit de leurs recherches et analyses. L’Economie de l’Afrique 2020 est la deuxième édition du Rapport économique que le Policy Center for the New South consacre chaque année à notre continent. Dans cette nouvelle livraison, nous restons fidèles à la démarche suivie lors du lancement de cette initiative : contextualiser rigoureusement les performances économiques de l’Afrique ; appréhender les changements qui traversent les Communautés économiques régionales (CER) dans la voie de l’intégration africaine ; analyser les décisions prises par l’Organisation continentale dans la mise en œuvre de l’ambitieux projet de zone de Libre-Echange. Une démarche qui nous met au cœur des grandes questions de développement de l’Afrique, leur permanence, leur récurrence et leur nouveauté.

    U.S. Africa policy has tended to shift over time and has lacked a clear overarching strategic vision. The Trump administration’s approach in Africa should articulate a limited set of principles that clarifies and solidifies a more sustainable framework that is better suited to address fundamental drivers of Africa’s future. These principles include prioritizing key countries and rationalizing resources, creating an “Investment- First” policy in Africa, and more clearly communicating ...

    The Global Outlook and Morocco
    Authors

    May 8, 2017
    Despite fraught politics, the global outlook is strengthening. The next twelve months are likely to be characterized by moderate but steady growth across the world. However, the outlook becomes murkier as we move into the second half of 2018 and 2019. Significant upside in world economic growth is possible on account of building momentum against a background of low capacity utilization, but even greater downside is possible on account of inconsistent economic policy in the Unites St ...

    Since the fall of the Derg regime in 1991, cordial relations have developed between China and Ethiopia, forming a positive political backdrop in front of which the two countries’ interests have increasingly converged. On the one hand, Ethiopia seeks to replicate the experience of East Asian countries such as Taiwan, Malaysia, or China and to attract foreign direct investment (FDI) in order to accelerate the development of its manufacturing capacities (in particular through an ambit ...

Trade is concentrated in a few products – those where both countries enjoy long lasting and natural comparative advantages – and face strong difficulties to diversify in terms of products and to upgrade towards more complex models of lin ...
