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.

    Pour une économie ouverte, l’analyse des échanges internationaux recèle une importance capitale pour analyser ses perspectives de croissance. Bien des décisions individuelles portant sur la consommation, l’épargne et l’investissement sont, en effet, liées aux termes de l’échange. L’évolution de ces derniers, définis comme le rapport entre les prix à l’exportation et ceux à l’importation, est considérée comme un indicateur du pouvoir d’achat d’un pays et constitue une variable fort ...

    We finished Part I - Solving the Capital Formation Issue with a question? How should institutional investors go about looking for the best partners to help them make successful investments in Africa; and fundamentally, the real question to ask is, what are the variables required for building successful investment platforms in Africa? Whenever one meets with an allocator from an institutional investor to discuss an allocation to an Africa strategy, the first question on their checkl ...

    The Securitization Technique: a Relevant Tool for Financing the Mining Sector?
    Authors
    Yves Jégourel
    March 25, 2015
    The strategy to vertically integrate mining producers requires the identification of the right conditions for its financing. Many approaches are possible and the technique of securitization, although widely stigmatized since the financial crisis of 2008, must be considered. Several conditions are however necessary. It is unlikely that the off-balance sheet securitization is currently positioned as an important means to finance this sector’s production capacity. Whatever the scope of ...

    Is Manufacturing Still a Key to Growth ?
    Authors
    Uri Dadush
    February 10, 2015
    Manufacturing is declining as a share of GDP not only in advanced countries, but in developing countries as well. This new trend, a result of complex forces, should be seen on balance as a reason for development-optimism, not pessimism. In the 21st century economy, manufacturing remains important, but poor countries can attract investment, grow rapidly and diversify away from agriculture on the basis of many possible sources of comparative advantage, without artificially promoting m ...

In addition, China’s massive investments in Sub-Saharan Africa have accelerated the participation of some countries in the region in a new international division of labor, especially in low-skill-intensive light manufacturing. In parallel, through the structure of its trade a ...
