Dans ce podcast, avec monsieur Ferid Belhaj, Vice-président de la Banque Mondiale pour la région MENA, nous abordons les conclusions d'une évaluation indépendante sur le soutien de la Banque mondiale au Royaume du Maroc et ses implications pour le Nouveau Modèle de Développement. L'évaluation identifie les obstacles au développement, notamment les réformes politiques et économiques, qui ont été surmontés grâce au soutien financier et stratégique de la Banque mondiale. De plus, l'utilisation des données a influencé ces réformes, en mettant particulièrement l'accent sur la cohérence des politiques et l'amélioration du climat des affaires. Malgré les défis actuels, il est essentiel de souligner que la collaboration continue entre la Banque mondiale et le Maroc demeure indispensable pour atteindre les objectifs ambitieux de développement durable dans les années à venir.

This paper aims to contribute to filling this gap by examining the case of Morocco, a developing country belonging to the lower-middle-income group. The question is whether its production network is a factor in amplifying idiosyncratic industry-level shocks or, conversely, ...
