L'érosion de la base d'imposition et le transfert de bénéfices (BEPS) impliquant des entreprises multinationales est un problème complexe et multidimensionnel résultant de lacunes et d'incohérences entre les systèmes fiscaux des pays. Pour le résoudre, il faut une action coordonnée au niveau international. Plusieurs organisations ont pris des initiatives en ce sens, notamment l’OCDE qui, avec le soutien du G20, a lancé en 2013 un ambitieux projet de lutte contre le BEPS.

Dans ce podcast, nous analysons les défis liés à la fiscalité en Afrique et examinons l'impact de BEPS sur les économies africaines. Nous passons en revue les facteurs qui exacerbent le BEPS dans la région. De plus, nous évaluons l'impact négatif du BEPS en Afrique et discutons des initiatives actuelles visant à lutter contre le BEPS sur le continent, notamment celles proposées par l'OCDE. Enfin, nous aborderons les défis et formulerons des recommandations politiques visant à élargir l'espace fiscal et à réduire le BEPS en Afrique.

    The role of the production network in shock propagation has been an issue of considerable interest since the Great Recession. However, the empirical literature has only focused on advanced and emerging countries. 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, ...

    Addressing inequalities in all their forms has emerged as one of the major global challenges faced by numerous countries across the globe, particularly in Africa. In a context where Africa faces many pressing challenges that are the subject of much analysis (Sarbib et al. 2022), there is a clear gap in conducting comprehensive reviews focused on inequalities, partly due to the lack of available data. Inequalities, which are both consequences and partial causes of poor development o ...

    This paper reviews the past performance of industrialization in Africa and identifies key considerations for policymaking. To date, African countries have lagged in industrialization compared to other continents, in spite of the determined efforts and aspirations of their leaders. However, recent evidence suggests that Africa’s de-industrialization trend began to reverse in the past decade, with some countries experiencing growth in manufacturing employment. Notably, more jobs have ...

    On the day he formally took power in Nigeria, 29 May, President Bola Tinubu put an end to fuel subsidies.  It was a bold and politically difficult decision, but long overdue. Nigeria is a leading oil producer and yet its citizens struggle to put gas in their tanks. It exports crude oil but imports refined fuels. For years, the government capped the gasoline price and paid importers the difference between the higher landed cost of petrol and diesel and the lower price at the pump. Th ...
