In recent years, India has strengthened its ties with Africa, focusing on economic development and trade exchanges. With initiatives aimed at promoting commerce, investments, and technology, India is becoming a key partner for many African countries. Beyond the economic aspect, India also supports Africa in areas such as security, health, and governance, sharing its experience and working together on common projects. Bilateral and multilateral summits are central to this collaboration. In this podcast, Abdessalam Saad JALDI, Senior IR Specialist, explores the African policy of India, with Samir Bhattacharya, Associate Fellow at Observer Research Foundation (ORF).

     Partie 1. Le ralentissement économique de la Chine : une transition inquiétante  L’incertitude sur les marchés financiers, la transition de l’économie chinoise vers un modèle de croissance moins extraverti et le ralentissement du rythme de la croissance des pays émergents, sont autant de facteurs qui fragilisent considérablement une croissance mondiale durable et synchronisée.

    March 2, 2016
    Discrepancies in output fluctuations between emerging and developed economies are well documented in the literature. Differences however within developing economies have not been sufficiently scrutinised. This paper argues that global and regional shocks primarily drive the business cycle in emerging economies, and provides estimated results for cycle variance decomposition. The paper also offers a theoretical framework to check on the set of stylized facts common and specific to em ...

    The Improving Global Outlook and Morocco
    Authors

    Global economic growth is likely to be a little better in 2016 than this year’s lackluster outcome. The ongoing slow recovery in the United States and Europe is likely to continue. However, weakness in China as well as several large emerging markets, and sluggishness of world trade, mean that risks are weighted on the downside of this forecast. Morocco, which is reliant on European markets, is a heavy importer of oil, and whose currency has devalued in effective terms, should find t ...

    Commodities: a new era

    December 14, 2015
    The end of supply chain is the natural corollary of the sustained price fall of virtually all commodities observed over the past many months. If it appears premature to state exactly what is the impact of this deconsolidation in the commodities value chain, it is believed that the strategic role of physical trading is strengthening. Under such circumstances, the industrial strategies of developing countries and commodity exporters may have to evolve and, in priority, foster optimizi ...

    Is Manufacturing Still a Key to Growth ?
    Authors
    Uri Dadush
    February 10, 2015
    Manufacturing is declining as a share of GDP not only in advanced countries, but in developing countries as well. This new trend, a result of complex forces, should be seen on balance as a reason for development-optimism, not pessimism. In the 21st century economy, manufacturing remains important, but poor countries can attract investment, grow rapidly and diversify away from agriculture on the basis of many possible sources of comparative advantage, without artificially promoting m ...

    Gagnant et perdant: effects macroéconomiques de la chute des prix de l’énergie
    Authors
    Yves Jégourel
    January 10, 2015
    La chute des prix pétroliers observée depuis le milieu de l’année 2014 s’explique par la conjonction d’un excès d’offre et par une insuffisance de la demande dans un contexte économique mondial morose. Le niveau des prix ne peut cependant être la seule variable à prendre en compte dans une analyse prospective des effets macroéconomiques de cette baisse : structure par terme et volatilité des prix constituent ici des éléments explicatifs fondamentaux. ...
