Cycle de Conférences : Regards croisés sur la mise en œuvre du Nouveau Modèle de Développement - Session II : Gestion macroéconomique et réformes sectorielles La deuxième session du cycle de conférences qu’organise le Policy Center for the New South sur la mise en œuvre du Nouveau Modèle de Développement (NMD) portera sur la gestion macroéconomique et les réformes sectorielles. Dans son diagnostic sur les conditions macro-économiques de la croissance, le Rapport sur le NMD a relevé que la stabilité macro-économique sur la dernière décennie n’a pas suffisamment porté la dynamique de développement. En témoignent le rythme lent de la croissance et la faible création d’emplois. Cette dynamique atone n’est pas sans lien avec la nature même des politiques macro-économiques jusque-là poursuivies. Considérées trop restrictives, soumises à des normes rigides, elles auraient privé le pays de l’exploitation des marges de manœuvre. Le projet du NMD avance une série de propositions pour infléchir les politiques budgétaires et monétaires et orienter la politique de change en vue de déclencher un cercle vertueux de développement. Ces propositions suscitent un débat sur la nature des politiques macro-économiques susceptibles d’élargir les marges de manœuvres, tout en garantissant la stabilité des comptes internes et externes et consolider la confiance des acteurs économiques. Deux enjeux de taille traversent la mise en œuvre de ces propositions. D’un côté le financement du modèle qui reste assujetti aux impératifs de l’engagement de la réforme fiscale et de la rationalisation de la politique actionnariale de l’Etat pour en faire un vecteur de création de valeur économique et sociale. De l’autre côté, l’accélération des dynamiques sectorielles pour lesquelles le Maroc dispose d’avantages comparatifs, dans le cadre de visions stratégiques à moyen et long termes pour contribuer à la consolidation de la stabilité macroéconomique et soutenir la croissance

    Trade and Youth Labor Market Outcomes: Empirical Evidence and Policy Implications
    Authors

    We examine the effects of trade on youth labor force participation and unemployment rates by performing fixed-effects and Arellano-Bond GMM estimations on data from 89 developing and emerging economies from 1990 to 2018. The empirical results suggest that trade openness has U-shaped effects on youth labor force participation rates, with negative impacts at low-to-moderate levels of trade and positive but minor effects at relatively high levels of trade. Except for Latin America, the ...

    COVID-19 has caused serious damage throughout the entire world. As of mid-2021, the global fiscal cost of COVID-19—excluding the most important consequences, such as human lives, mental health effects, restrictions of human freedom, and other non-pecuniary components, have amounted to at least $16.5 trillion, about 18% of world GDP (Dinh 2021). Financial support has varied across countries depending on income level, political willingness, and the extent of the pandemic in each econo ...

    The year began with simultaneous signs of a slowdown in global economic growth and a reorientation toward tightening of monetary policies in advanced economies. In its latest Global Economic Prospects released on January 11, the World Bank forecasts that, after a global growth surprisingly at 5.5% last year, it should moderate to somewhere around 4.1% and 3.2%. % in, respectively, 2022 and 2023. In addition to the effects of omicron at the start of the year, less fiscal support and ...

    Why Green Finance Taxonomies? The increasing effort to mitigate climate change has caused more and more individuals, governments, and companies to shift away from traditional financial investments and activities, and towards more environmentally-friendly alternatives. However, until recently, there has been a lack of consensus on what green finance and its environmental impact is. Thus, green finance taxonomies are needed to provide classification systems that identify how environm ...

    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 ...

    Decarbonization and “Greenflation”
    Authors
    Otaviano Canuto
    December 10, 2021
     Accelerating the transition toward low or net-zero carbon emissions is necessary to keep global warming at theoretically safe levels. That will likely bring price shocks associated with rising metal prices, energy costs, and carbon taxes – what has been called “greenflation”. Greening the economy will also require public spending and redistributive policies. ...
