أطلقت دول القارة الأفريقية في اليوم الأول من عام 2021 منطقة تجارة حرة قارية، بعد تأجيل دام عدة أشهر بسبب أزمة تفشي فيروس كورونا. وتسعى الدول الأفريقية من خلال هذه المنطقة لإقامة تكتل اقتصادي من ناحية عدد الدول والسكان ليكون أكبر منطقة للتجارة الحرة منذ تأسيس منظمة التجارة العالمية. وفقًا لتوقعات البنك الدولي، فإنه مع التنفيذ الكامل لاتفاقية التجارة الحرة القارية الأفريقية، سيزداد إجمالي حجم الصادرات في إفريقيا بنحو 29٪ بحلول عام 2035، وستزيد الصادرات البينية الإقليمية منها بأكثر من 81٪. وستعمل إفريقيا كوحدة متكاملة على تسريع عملية التصنيع، وتعزيز القدرة التنافسية والجاذبية العالمية، والاندماج بشكل أفضل في الاقتصاد العالمي. فما هو الأثر المتوقع من تنفيذ هذا المشروع الضخم؟ وكيف ستتغير حياة الأفارقة بعد هذه الخطوة؟ في سياق عالمي حيث لم تعد قيم العولمة والانفتاح الاقتصادي متفق عليها، خاصة في ظل أزمة كوفيد 19، قررت إفريقيا اتخاذ خطوة نحو إنشاء أكبر سوق حول العالم يقدرب 1.2 مليار مستهلك. ما هي الرسالة التي تبعثها أفريقيا للعالم؟ ثم إن الطريق نحو اندماج عميق للقارة لا يزال بعيدًا. ما هي العقبات الرئيسية وكيف يمكن للدول الأفريقية تجاوزها؟ لطالما أراد المغرب تقوية روابطه الاقتصادية والسياسية مع جذوره الأفريقية، كيف يمكنه الاستفادة من هذه الفرصة على أفضل وجه والمساهمة في ازدهار القارة الأفريقية؟ المسيرة: إيمان لهريش، مسؤولة عن البرامج بمركز السياسات من أجل الجنوب الجديد المتدخل: عز الدين غفران، أستاذ باحث وعميد كلية العلوم الاقتصادية والقانونية والاجتماعية السويسي، جامعة محمد الخامس بالرباط

    À  l’approche du Sommet africain du climat (Africa Climate Summit), qui se tiendra à Nairobi du 4 au 6 septembre 2023, de très nombreuses organisations non gouvernementales (ONG) ont écrit au président du Kenya, William Ruto, pour lui faire part de leurs inquiétudes concernant l’ordre du jour de ce sommet. Selon ces ONG, les intérêts des entreprises et des pays occidentaux pourraient prendre le pas sur ceux de l’Afrique. Les vraies priorités sont notamment d’éliminer progressivement ...

Like China and the other BRICS, several other countries have also sought to develop alternative external payment mechanisms. Pairs of countries have agreed to settle commercial and financial transactio ...

    This policy brief was originally published on T20 India website   A decade of poor growth, increased poverty, and political instability followed the serious debt difficulties that emerged worldwide in the 1980s. There are concerns that the looming debt crisis could create similar challenges and result in even more severe consequences. However, the current economic climate differs in many ways from that of the 1980s, when international banks and Paris Club creditors held most of th ...

    Morocco has made important strides in reducing poverty in the last three decades, thanks in large part to trade and industrial policies aimed at durably inserting the country into world flows of goods, services, and cross-border investment. Since 1992, per capita incomes have tripled (in current US$), contributing to a threefold drop in the Kingdom’s poverty headcount. The country of 37 million features consistently as one of the better-performing and more stable economies in the No ...

    The broad thrust of Morocco’s trade and industrial policies over the last thirty years has been to anchor Morocco into world flows of goods, services, and cross-border investment. Despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, rising international prices, and a complex geopolitical environment, Moroccans continue to derive significant benefits from their economy’s openness. These include improved consumer choice and welfare, the growing insertion of Moroccan firms into cross ...

Despite lacking a distinct regional policy for North Africa, India has amplified its bilateral engagement with these countries, underpinned by a steadfast commitment to the principle of South-South cooperation. Through its strategic moves in North Africa, India has established a powerful southern-west axis for its foreign policy that stretch ...
