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

    Dès les premiers cas du Coronavirus relevés en Afrique, les prédictions les plus sombres ont été faites sur la catastrophe sanitaire à venir sur le continent, en raison d’un certain nombre de caractéristiques supposées favoriser la propagation de l’épidémie. Ces prévisions ont été démenties par la rapidité des ripostes des Etats et par divers autres facteurs. La progression de la Covid-19 en Afrique n’est pas le fait d’une dynamique unique mais plutôt de multiples profils de risques ...
  • Why a Weaker Dollar Might Be Good for Emerging Markets?
    Authors

    December 22, 2020
    After reaching a peak against other currencies in March this year, the dollar fell by almost 15% until the beginning of December. According to Bloomberg, asset portfolio managers have been assuming "short" positions against the dollar, that is, betting on its fall ahead. The dollar is expected to devalue against the euro, the yen, and the Chinese RMB in 2021. The peak last March, during the coronavirus financial shock, reflected the search for a safe haven in short-term US bonds or ...
  • Middle-Income Countries Should not be Rushed to Graduate

    This article has originally been published on OECD Development matter platform Many donor countries seem eager to see middle-income countries (MICs) “master out” and graduate to a non-client status in multilateral development institutions before fully achieving their development potential. We argue that such institutions can still significantly contribute to the sustainable development of MICs, while also seizing many benefits from this relationship (Middle income countries and mul ...
  • The Pandemic Will Reshape Globalization

    December 7, 2020
    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 ...

    Food security for all requires (i) sustained productivity growth and competitiveness, not only of agriculture but of the entire economy; (ii) a social safety net; and (iii) resilience in the face of periodic shocks. This is the central message of this review. Two popular concepts in food security for all are food self-sufficiency (FSS) and food sovereignty (FSY). While countries have pursued different policies to achieve FSS, the common element in their approaches is the misguided ...

    Intégration monétaire en Afrique de l'Ouest : histoire, théorie, politique
    Authors
    Youssef El Jai
    September 15, 2020
    Avant l'ère coloniale, l'émission d'argent en Afrique de l'Ouest dépendait de la traite des esclaves. Avec l'avènement du régime colonial, les pièces d'argent ont été importées puis progressivement imposées comme outil de coercition. La trajectoire postcoloniale a été différente pour les anciennes colonies britanniques et françaises. Alors que les premières ont retrouvé leur souveraineté monétaire, les secondes ont conservé une union monétaire sous l’égide de la France. La propositi ...

    The national automotive industry faced with the Covid-19: Should we be worried about the impact on the current account?

    September 2, 2020
    The year 2020 is one of the most difficult years for the global automotive industry. The pandemic first appeared in a region of China known for its developed automotive sector. Initially, it was the South Asian manufacturers who first felt the impact of the shutdown in China before the pandemic shifted to Europe and the United States and before the disruption of value chains took on a global dimension. In Morocco, the sector has not remained immune to this turbulent context and its ...

    La Communauté économique des Etats de l’Afrique de l’Ouest (CEDEAO) est souvent présentée comme étant le système d’intégration régionale le plus dynamique du continent africain. Les Conférences des chefs d’Etat et de Gouvernement y sont régulières, les citoyens de la Communauté disposent d’un passeport commun et les discussions sur une monnaie unique sont à l’ordre du jour. Néanmoins, le modèle de la CEDEAO souffre de deux paradoxes majeurs. Les paradoxes africains Le premier pa ...

    This paper aims at evaluating the virtual water content in trade in an intra-country perspective and discussing potential tradeoffs between the use of natural resources and value added creation. We develop a trade-based index that reveals the relative water use intensities associated with specific interregional and international trade flows. The index is calculated considering the measures of water and value added embedded in trade flows associated with each regional origin-destinat ...

    Depuis l'entrée en vigueur de l'Accord de libre-échange (ALE) entre le Maroc et l'Union européenne (UE), il y a près de deux décennies, les performances des exportations marocaines vers les marchés de l'UE ont été plutôt décevantes, tandis que le déficit commercial du Maroc avec l'UE a augmenté de manière significative. Cela a conduit de nombreux observateurs à percevoir l'accord d'un oeil critique. Cependant, les balances commerciales bilatérales ne sont pas toujours suffisantes po ...
