Présentation du Rapport économique 2021 : L’Afrique sous les chocs - Panel 1

November 4, 2022

La succession des chocs pandémique, climatique et géopolitique a éprouvé les économies africaines. Les liens commerciaux et financiers avec le monde ne sont plus seulement considérés comme des moteurs de performance, mais aussi comme des sources potentielles de vulnérabilité. La défiance à l’égard de la mondialisation s’est accrue.  Parce qu’elle est venue souligner la dépendance du continent, le dérèglement de ses rapports à la nature et sa vulnérabilité face aux tensions géopolitiques. Cela va-t-il inciter l’Afrique à s’engager dans de nouvelles stratégies de développement moins débridées, plus autonomes et accélératrices de la transformation structurelle? 

Dans un environnement incertain, l’enjeu économique n’est pas seulement de reconquérir une nouvelle frontière de croissance, il est aussi de réinventer les modèles de développement. Il s’agit de tracer le chemin de compatibilité ente l’innovation économique, la cohésion sociale, la durabilité écologique. Il s’agit de renforcer la convergence des dynamiques des Communautés économiques régionales et du chantier de la Zlecaf pour tisser une interdépendance économique, vecteur de la résilience du Contient.  L’Edition 2021 du Rapport du PCNS sur l’Economie Africaine réunie des contributions d’une pléiade de chercheurs, praticiens du développement et acteurs de premier plan pour explorer les voies de renouveau de la solidarité économique africaine, valeur fondatrice du projet panafricain.

Cette initiative vise à assurer un développement territorial durable, robuste et inclusif mais aussi à capitaliser sur les potentialités de chaque région en termes de ressources. Ainsi, de nouvelles structures ont été mises en place pour moderniser les services publics et améliorer le ...

    For today’s middle-income countries in Africa, innovation is essential to sustain growth and promote the transition to high-income status. This paper begins by providing an in-depth review of the region’s innovation performance during the last three decades. A distinction is made between residents and non-residents, and outcomes at different income levels. Using cross-country regressions, we then study the determinants of innovation and assess the impact of innovation on growth in t ...

    Following on the heels of the COVID-19 pandemic and severe drought in North Africa, the Russian invasion of Ukraine – large exporters of food and, in the case of Russia, energy— may inflict increased hunger on the food insecure in Morocco – despite mitigating measures by the government. Morocco is so far successfully shielding its large poor and vulnerable population by subsidizing essential commodities. With memories of the violent protests during the 2007/08 food and fuel crisis s ...

    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 ...
