Le Covid-19 : un Accélérateur de Crise, un Révélateur d'insuffisance
April 30, 2020

La pandémie qui frappe l’économie mondiale est souvent imputée exclusivement au Coronavirus. L’objet de ce “Brief “est de rappeler qu’avant l’explosion de la pandémie, affectant, à des degrés divers, cinquante pour cent de la population mondiale, l’économie mondiale était déjà très fragilisée par la guerre commerciale que se livrent, depuis de longs mois, Américains et Chinois, et par la guerre pétrolière opposant Américains, Saoudiens et Russes. C’est, donc, dans un contexte très particulier que se développe cette pandémie, faisant du Covid-19 un accélérateur d’une crise dont il ne serait être le seul responsable, et un révélateur des insuffisances et des limites des politiques publiques de santé. La perte de souveraineté sanitaire, la gestion en flux tendu des biens sanitaires illustrent ces limites et ces insuffisances. Elles nous conduisent désormais à rechercher le juste équilibre entre la recherche d’une sécurité sanitaire absolue et la nécessité de préserver conjointement les conditions de la reprise économique, sous peine d’être confrontés à des morts économiques, en plus grand nombre, venant s’ajouter à ceux déjà trop nombreux du Covid-19.

    *The recommendations put forth below have been published, both print and online, in the Financial Times.  The leaders of the G20 will meet on 30 November and 1 December in Buenos Aires for their annual summit. They need to acknowledge that the last two years have been characterized by strong headwinds for the world economy. This time, however, it is not a mixture of poor macroeconomic policies and bad business decisions – as in 2008 when they met in Washington for their first summi ...

    Islamic finance is a way of doing finance while respecting the Islamic ban on interest-based transactions and ensuring risk sharing between parties in all operations. Contracts are supposed to rule out features that would make them akin to gambling or “making money from money.” Furthermore, engagements in businesses considered immoral or ethically problematic are not allowed. Islamic finance therefore means, among other features: no pure debt securities, with interest replaced by t ...

    There are various definitions of Energy Security (ES) and numerous ways of understanding the concept. For this blog’s purpose, we will choose the familiar understanding of the latter as put forward by the George W. Bush Administration, i.e. it represents a situation where four characteristics are met, an energy supply that is: (1) Reliable (2) affordable (3) environmentally sound and (4) accessible.  Thus, ES represents the situation where there’s availability of energy at all time ...

    If I were to synthesize the current situation of the Brazilian economy in one sentence, I would say: “it is suffering from a combination of ‘productivity anemia’1 and ‘public sector obesity2’". On the one hand, the mediocre performance of productivity in Brazil in recent decades has limited its GDP growth potential. On the other, the gluttony for expanding public spending has become increasingly incompatible with such limits in the potential expansion of GDP, particularly since the ...

    The concern over global imbalances has become an effort to systematically reduce current account deficits and surpluses, feeding the protectionist narrative. However, global imbalances are driven predominantly by domestic policies and conditions, not external factors. We do not know enough about the determinants of current account balances to set out precise numerical norms. Policy-makers should pay more attention to establishing the conditions that make current account deficits and ...

    Depuis la fin de l’année 2017, le président Donald Trump mène plusieurs batailles commerciales, contre différents partenaires, sous prétextes de sauver des emplois industriels américains et de réduire le déficit commercial des États-Unis. S’il est difficile de se prononcer sur les effets des combats commerciaux amorcés par le président Trump, l’importance des opposants et des échanges pour l’économie mondiale en fait une source de risque pour la croissance, les emplois et les prix à ...

    The Brazilian economy pays a price in terms of productivity foregone because of its lack of trade openness. A trade opening process would bring an adjustment impact that could nonetheless be mitigated with public policies that facilitate labor mobility and job migration. Benefits from trade opening would also hinge on policy improvements in complementary areas, such as infrastructure investments, business environment and others. The Brazilian economy would benefit from opening trad ...
