Structure des échanges entre le Maroc et l’Afrique : Une analyse de la spécialisation du commerce
Authors
July 28, 2016

Au cours de la dernière décennie, le Maroc a entrepris de nombreuses réformes afin de réussir son intégration dans l’économie mondiale en général- et africaine en particulier- dans le but de diversifier et renforcer son potentiel compétitif en termes d’exportations. En effet, les échanges entre le Royaume et le continent africain ont connu une nette augmentation durant la période 2004-2014 : Le montant global des échanges avec cette région a quadruplé, passant de 1,0 milliards de dollars à 4,4 milliards de dollars. Cependant, un fort potentiel reste encore à développer vu que l’Afrique ne représente que 6,5% de l’ensemble des échanges commerciaux du Maroc. A cet effet, l’objectif de ce papier est de présenter dans une première partie une analyse descriptive de la structure du commerce entre le Maroc et l’Afrique par régions, produits et partenaires. Une seconde partie se consacre à calculer et comparer différentes variantes de l’indice des avantages comparatifs révélés du Maroc et de certains pays africains, en considérant l’Afrique comme zone de référence. Une troisième partie effectue une analyse économétrique dans le but d’étudier les éventuels changements structurels dans la spécialisation ou diversification du commerce du Maroc avec le continent africain.

    In the face of repeated Europol-led crackdowns, and frequent flagging of content by the EU Internet Referral Unit (EU IRU), government agencies, anonymous users, and outfits specialising in countering terrorist propaganda—on the Telegram messaging application, as well as the frequent use of artificial intelligence to detect and remove terrorist propaganda on mainstream social media sites—terrorist organisations have adapted their propaganda output. Crackdowns and suspensions have fo ...

    The Policy Brief ‘Pandemic, Preparedness, Morocco, and Africa’ by Uri Dadush provoked a personal reaction: Morocco may never be crowned football’s world champions, alas, but which nation, besides China, New Zealand, Israel, Japan, Denmark, Vietnam, organized its anti-COVID-19 offensive more digitally and in a more modern way than the Kingdom? Morocco’s bureaucracy is at times suffocating and unpleasant, its public hospital system stressed and underfunded. But today I can vouch for a ...

    Joe Biden’s victory in the U.S. elections was widely anticipated, and much of what has happened since he took office on January 21 has conformed to his election promise. The progress he helped steer in vaccinations and repairing the pandemic’s economic damage is especially impressive. However, the first 100 days of his term have also seen major unexpected developments. Three of these surprises have both major implications for the U.S. economic outlook, and global repercussions. The ...
