Le Policy Center for the New South et le Laboratoire d’Économie Appliquée (Université Mohammed V), se sont engagés dans un projet de recherche, appuyé par le Centre National pour la Recherche Scientifique et Technique, visant l’approfondissement des connaissances et d’analyses sur l’ouverture et les transformations structurelles de l’économie marocaine. Plusieurs manifestations et activités scientifiques ont été ainsi organisées, dont notamment la publication, en 2016, d’un ouvrage intitulé « Equilibres externes, compétitivité et processus de transformation structurelle de l’économie marocaine ».
Cet ouvrage s’inscrit justement dans ce cadre et vise à apporter plus d’éclairage sur les liens existant entre ouverture, productivité et croissance économique. Il comprend une série de papiers sélectionnés en deux temps par le comité scientifique. D’abord, l’appel à communications lancé en juillet 2017 a permis de sélectionner 12 papiers, qui ont été présentés et discutés dans le cadre du colloque organisé sur la même thématique le 22 février 2018 à l’Université Med V. Ce colloque a été, par ailleurs, une occasion pour proposer des pistes de réflexion plus pertinentes et des approches méthodologiques plus appropriées. Ensuite, et sur la base des rapports des évaluateurs anonymes des papiers reçus en réponse à l’appel à contribution lancé en mars 2018, le comité scientifique a sélectionné les 16 papiers de cet ouvrage. Tout au long de ce processus de sélection, le comité scientifique a veillé à ce que les papiers retenus pour publication garantissent la diversité requise tant d’angles d’analyse, que d’approches méthodologiques.

    The COVID-19 pandemic has hit the Moroccan economy hard, as elsewhere in the world. A collapse in external demand and a lockdown lasting more than three months have profoundly altered economic activity in Morocco, causing its first recession since 1995. The implementation of the confinement and social distancing measures was strict and came two weeks after the detection of the first cases of COVID-19 in Morocco on March 2, 2020. The lockdown was extended three times and lasted aroun ...

    The pandemic is accelerating history, in the sense that it is leading to the speeding up of some recent trends. In the case of globalization, the pandemic will not reverse it, but it will reshape it. Here we take a bird’s eye view of global trade during the pandemic, relate it to previous trends, and guess how global value chain managers and government trade policymakers are likely to react. A Bird’s Eye View of Global Trade during the Pandemic World trade took a deep dive during ...

    There was a significant inflow of funds in Brazil's external financial account in October and November for investments in both stocks and fixed income instruments. The bulk of the recent inflow has come in a “passive” way, and it did not include considerable volume on the side of “active” investors. For the wave to unfold in the availability of external resources to finance investments in the country, progress and confidence in the domestic fiscal and regulatory agenda will be relev ...

    The effective implementation of the 2030 Agenda requires a greater level of capital mobilization and new institutional arrangements that guarantee the better allocation of these funds. Based on concrete results from the experience of the Development Bank of Minas Gerais, in Brazil, this paper argues that Subnational Development Banks (SDBs) can be powerful players within development finance institutions’ networks, as their local expertise can bring efficiency and effectiveness to th ...

    We have previously discussed how, between March 2020, when the financial shock caused by COVID-19 occurred, and the end of August, the stock and corporate debt markets in the United States performed extraordinarily, despite gloomy prospects on the real side of the economy. The decline in technology stock prices in September ended up taking the equivalent of a month from gains starting in April, but prices remain high. On the basis of such a ‘disconnect from reality’ in financial ma ...

    CGTN, 25 September 2020 China’s economy keeps recovering from the coronavirus pandemic-led crisis through the third quarter of 2020, as revealed by the numbers of August activity. Its GDP grew by 3.2% in the second quarter, after falling by 6.8% in the first quarter, in both cases as compared from a year before. It is now the only major economy expected to exhibit growth this year. Successful containment of the pandemics has allowed it to be first-in-first-out relative to others. ...

    U.S. stock and corporate bond markets performed extraordinarily well from the March financial shock caused by covid-19 to the end of last month. Then, three consecutive weeks of decline in the three major stock market indexes have been followed this week by a global slump attributed to fears of new lockdowns. A period of disconnect of financial markets with the underlying real economy has culminated in a revelation of the former’s high dependency to Federal Reserve policies. Discon ...

There’s no doubt they can play a crucial role in preventing another lost decade in the region. But ...

    The “middle income trap” may well characterize the experience of Brazil and most of Latin America since the 1980s. Conversely, South Korea maintained its pace of evolution, reaching a high-income status. Such divergence of economic growth can be related to their distinctive performances of domestic accumulation of technological and organizational capabilities. Their different approaches to global value chains and trade globalization reinforced such discrepancy in domestic accumulati ...
