- Les niveaux de vie dans la région du Moyen-Orient et de l’Afrique du Nord (MENA) sont loin d’atteindre ceux des économies de référence, en raison principalement d’une faible productivité. L’édition d’avril 2025 du Bulletin d’information économique de la région MENA, intitulée Changer de vitesse, se penche précisément sur ce qui constitue l’un des moteurs essentiels de la croissance de la productivité, à savoir le secteur privé. Les entreprises créent des emplois, renforcent les moyens de subsistance et stimulent l’innovation. Pour parvenir à booster les performances du secteur privé dans la région, les pouvoirs publics devront probablement redéfinir leur rôle, tandis que les entreprises pourraient mieux mettre à profit des gisements de talents encore inexploités. Retrouvez nos experts régionaux en ligne et en direct pour une discussion autour de ces enjeux et un tour d’horizon des tendances économiques dans la région MENA. Plus d'informations ...

- Standards of living in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region are far from the frontier, largely due to low productivity. The April 2025 issue of the MENA Economic Update, Shifting Gears, sheds light on a critical engine of productivity growth: the private sector. Businesses create jobs, boost livelihoods, and spur innovation. To accelerate the performance of the private sector, governments in the region may need to rethink their roles and firms could do more to better harness untapped talent in the region.

- Description
- En Afrique, comme ailleurs, les citoyens paient des impôts et attendent en retour des services essentiels que le marché ne peut pas toujours offrir : éducation et santé de base, sécurité et justice, accès à l’eau, aux routes et à l’électricité. Un secteur public efficace est indispensable pour favoriser la croissance économique et améliorer la qualité de vie. Pourtant, malgré les progrès réalisés par certains pays, l’Afrique subsaharienne accuse un retard par rapport aux autres régions sur des indicateurs clés de gouvernance, notamment en matière de responsabilité gouvernementale et de stabilité politique. La 31e édition du rapport Africa’s Pulse analysera les tendances économiques de la région et explorera comment renforcer la gouvernance pour mieux répondre aux besoins des citoyens dans un climat de défiance croissante.

- Description
- In Africa, like elsewhere, citizens pay taxes and expect in return, a range of services that the market alone cannot provide, whether it is basic education and health, safety and justice, or water, roads, and electricity. A well-performing public sector is essential for economies to grow and people to thrive. While some countries have improved the effectiveness of their service delivery, Sub-Saharan Africa lags behind other regions on key governance indicators, including government accountability and political stability. The 31st edition of Africa’s Pulse will provide an overview of economic trends in the region and focus on improvements in governance to better serve people at a time of mounting distrust. Join us for a quick-paced conversation on this burning topic moderated by Nozipho Tshabalala, with Andrew Dabalen, Africa Region Chief Economist at the World Bank, Joseph Asunka, CEO of Afrobarometer, and Naledi Madala, Senior Policy Advisor at the Ministry of Finance of Botswana.
