Les Politiques Economiques de Relance Post-Covid-19 : Regards Croisés

June 12, 2020

Le Laboratoire d’Economie Appliquée ( LEA) de la Faculté des Sciences Juridiques Economiques et Sociales Rabat - AGDAL en partenariat avec le Policy Center for the New South, a le plaisir de vous inviter à participer à la table ronde organisée sous le thème «Les politiques économiques de relance Post Covid-19 : Regards croisés », qui se tiendra le vendredi 12 juin 2020 à 18h00 (Heure de Rabat). Les politiques économiques de gestion de la crise issue du covid-19 sont en rupture avec les pratiques antérieures. Elles sont audacieuses et révèlent au grand jour la capacité des pays, quand ils mettent en stand-by les prêts à penser- orthodoxes-, à gérer des chocs extrêmes. Il s’agit maintenant d’examiner la capacité des politiques économiques de relance post Covid-19 à l’échelle internationale et au Maroc, de saisir cet effet de révélation, de le traduire en stratégies innovantes à même de reconstruire un Maroc social inclusif et durable.

    The current pandemic has hit all countries hard, with severe repercussions at all levels. In economic terms, and given the scale of the damage, countries have reacted quickly by drawing on their available toolboxes. However, unlike in 2008, room for maneuver this time is much more limited and many countries have no choice but to go into massive debt to cope with the effects of the pandemic. For a country like Morocco, such a situation should lead the authorities concerned to study a ...

    Depuis 2018, le Ghana est considéré par le Fonds monétaire international (FMI) comme le bon élève de l'Afrique.

    There are signs of recovery in various parts of the global economy, starting in May, after the depressive dip imposed by Covid-19. Such signs emerged after the easing of restrictions on mobility established to flatten out the pandemic curves, and also reflected policies of flattening the recession curve (income transfers to part of the population, credit lines to vulnerable companies and others). Besides remaining far from giving back the GDP lost, in all countries, the r ...

    La femme représente la moitié de la société. Côte à côte avec l’homme, elle a toujours contribué au développement des sociétés lorsque les facteurs de conversion lui ont permis de mettre à l’œuvre ses potentialités pour parler simple. Aujourd’hui, cette catégorie de la société marocaine, et mondiale, subit de manière disproportionnée les répercussions de la crise de la Covid-19, sur plus d’un aspect de la vie en société. Ceci est particulièrement vrai lorsqu’il s’agit des domaines ...

    We explore the effects of exporting manufactures, primary commodities, and food and agricultural products, and we examine the impact of importing capital and semi-capital goods, on structural transformation in a group of 21 sub-Saharan African countries that were covered by the inaugural African Transformation Report (ACET, 2014). The empirical results suggest that the import of capital and semi-capital goods can be a good predictor of structural transformation, while concentration ...

    Middle Eastern geopolitics is currently undergoing structural changes: the regional order is in transition in the aftermath of the Arab Spring that undermined authoritarian governance, and triggered the competition for power against a backdrop of American withdrawal. This new race for regional domination challenges the traditional hierarchy of powers that is mainly based on military capacity and the interplay of foreign alliances. The economy, which had previously guaranteed the pol ...
