AD 2021: Développement Post-Covid : Nouveaux modèles et horizons

December 1, 2021

La pandémie a déclenché une crise de développement sans précédent, qui a remis en cause la résilience de nos systèmes économiques, politiques et sociaux. Mais, dans l’effort de confronter ses implications multiples, il y a aussi une opportunité de s’élargir vers de nouveaux horizons en encourageant les gouvernements et les acteurs internationaux à adopter des modèles de développement qui assurent un avenir plus sain et plus prospère. La pandémie sera-t-elle considérée comme un tournant historique dans la conceptualisation de nouvelles perspectives pour le développement ? Comment façonner l’avenir du développement pour des sociétés plus durables et égalitaires ? Quels devraient être les secteurs prioritaires pour sortir plus forts de la pandémie et transformer nos économies, et créer des emplois ? Surtout, comment les pays à faible revenu du bassin atlantique, peuvent-ils transformer leurs économies et leurs sociétés ? Compte tenu de la nature asymétrique de la reprise au niveau mondial, que peut faire la communauté internationale pour assurer une reprise plus équilibrée entre les Etats ?

    COVID-19 has ravaged nearly every country in the world, with the globalization of recent decades intensifying its spread. As of mid-2021, the world had spent $16.5 trillion—18% of global GDP—to fight the disease. And that amount does not even include the most important losses such as deaths, mental health effects, restrictions on human freedom, and other nonmonetary suffering. Nearly 90% of this spending was by developed economies, with the rest by emerging market and developing eco ...

    Après une longue période de prix atones, le café a vu ses cours se raffermir au cours de l’année 2020 et du premier trimestre 2021, avant de flamber durant l’été et l’automne. Il renouait alors avec des plus hauts niveaux depuis 2011, date de la fin du dernier « super-cycle des matières premières (2002-2011). Tandis que la demande progresse structurellement, l’offre s’est repliée, pénalisée par une conjonction de facteurs climatiques, géopolitiques et, bien évidemment, sanitaires en ...

    This paper analyses the regional economic differences in the impact of lockdown measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 ordered by Colombia’s national gov­ernment. Using an input-output model, we estimate regional economic losses by extracting a group of formal and informal workers from different sectors of the economy. Results show regional differences in the impact of lockdown measures on their labour markets, local economies, and productive sectors. We also find that periphera ...

    In the World Economic Outlook, published October 12, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) slightly lowered its forecast for global economic growth this year to 5.9%, while maintaining a forecast of 4.9% for 2022.

First, there are the different paces and extent of vaccination in different countries, that is, the ‘Great Vac ...
