Fonds souverains de stabilisation et fin du super-cycle des matières premières: quels enjeux?
Authors

September 17, 2015
Related topics: 

Les fonds souverains, objet de toutes les attentions au cours des années 2000, devraient voir leur rôle de « stabilisateur » de l’économie se renforcer dans les mois à venir, en raison de la chute du prix des matières premières. Ces véhicules d’investissement doivent cependant être coordonnés avec les outils traditionnels de la politique fiscale et ne peuvent affranchir les pouvoirs publics d’effectuer à plus ou moins long terme les ajustements budgétaires que ce nouvel environnement économique international impose.

    From the moment China reported a new mysterious disease to the WHO, in the last day of 2019, the scientific community started following the situation with increasing concern. However, in many places like the UK, where I live, and Portugal, where I am from, the collective memory of recent public health crises like SARS and Ebola added up to “much ado about nothing” – a massive media frenzy that promised a pandemic but did not deliver one. That is perhaps why it took so long to regist ...
  • قضية العدوى والحجر الصحي في مغرب العصر الوسيط

    يلف موضوع الحجر الصحي في المغرب الأقصى خلال العصر الوسيط ضباب كثيف، لا تساعد المصادر على انقشاعه. ومع ذلك يمكن القول إن من أهم القضايا التي كانت تشغل بال مغاربة العصور الوسطى أثناء حدوث الوباء، حقيقة العدوى من عدمها، فكانوا يطرحون السؤال الآتي: هل يخُالَطُ المصاب بالوباء أم لا؟ الموقف النظري من المخالطة بين الرفض والقبول تراوحت المواقف بين نفي العدوى بالوباء وإثباتها، وكان في مقدمة النافين لها أغلب الفقهاء، مستندين على نصوص شرعية تقول بعدم وجودها من وجهة نظر فهمهم لها، وتعتبر الوب ...

    Food insecurity is not a new concern. Many people around the world are already undernourished because of several factors, including climatic, economic, and political factors. Unfortunately, in times of crisis, as currently with COVID-19, food insecurity becomes more acute and requires urgent intervention to mitigate the negative impact on people's access to food. Aware of this, many governments have implemented different short-term measures to tackle this issue. However, it is impor ...

    Dans cette période de catastrophe planétaire, le risque d'un nombre élevé de victimes en raison de la faiblesse des systèmes de santé de nombreux Etats africains, anglophones ou francophones, est plus qu’évident pour l’observateur averti. Les circonstances actuelles interdisent des commentaires évidemment superflus sur les infrastructures médicales, globalement défaillantes. Ces insuffisances sont connues et vécues au quotidien par les populations des diverses régions du continent, ...
