dc.description.abstract | Part I of this report discusses the short- and medium-term growth prospects for countries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). The region is expected to grow at a subdued rate of 0.6 percent in 2019, rising to 2.6 percent in 2020 and 2.9 percent in 2021. The growth forecast for 2019 is revised down by 0.8 percentage points from the April 2019 projection. MENA’s economic outlook is subject to substantial downside risks—most notably, intensified global economic headwinds and rising geopolitical tensions. Part II argues that promoting fair competition is key for MENA countries to complete the transition from an administered to a market economy. Part II first examines current competition policies in MENA countries and to promote fair competition calls for strengthening competition law and enforcement agencies. It also calls for corporatizing state-owned enterprises, promoting the private sector and creating a level-playing field between them. Any moves to reform MENA economies would be aided by professional management of public assets, which could tap into a new source of national wealth. | en |
dc.description.abstract | La première partie du présent rapport examine les perspectives de croissance à court et à moyen terme des pays de la région Moyen-Orient et Afrique du Nord (MENA). Elle indique que la région devrait enregistrer un taux de croissance modeste de 0,6 % en 2019, qui devrait monter à 2,6 % en 2020 et atteindre 2,9 % en 2021. Les prévisions de croissance pour 2019 ont été réduites de 0,8 point de pourcentage par rapport aux projections d’avril 2019. Des risques baissiers substantiels pèsent sur les perspectives économiques de la région — les plus notables étant l’intensification des difficultés de l’économie mondiale et l’accroissement des tensions géopolitiques. Dans la deuxième partie du rapport, il est démontré que les pays de la région doivent asseoir une concurrence loyale pour passer complètement d’une économie administrée à une économie de marché. Les auteurs commencent par examiner les politiques de concurrence en vigueur dans la région, puis appellent au renforcement des lois sur la concurrence et des organismes chargés de les faire respecter, en vue de promouvoir des pratiques équitables. Ils préconisent également de transformer les entreprises publiques en sociétés commerciales, d’encourager le secteur privé et d’uniformiser les règles du jeu pour tous. Toute initiative de réforme des économies de la région serait appuyée par une gestion professionnelle des actifs publics, laquelle pourrait puiser dans une nouvelle source de richesse nationale. | fr |
