dc.description.abstract | According to latest estimates, the economy grew by 2.0 percent in 2020, 4 percentage points less than projected before the onset of COVID-19 (coronavirus). The primary sector grew by 5.2 percent, supported by strong performances of subsistence crops and cotton.. The tertiary sector, the largest component of the economy, contracted by 4.9 percent on account of COVID-19 social distancing measures. Inflation returned to positive territory in 2020 and closed the year above 4 percent. The pandemic had a positive impact on the external sector and a negative impact on the fiscal accounts. In 2020, the trade balance improved by 1.0 percentage point of GDP supported by historically high gold prices and low oil prices. The structurally negative services balance improved by 0.3 percentage points of GDP on account of cheaper electricity imports from neighboring countries. The fiscal deficit as a share of GDP reached 5.2 percent in 2020, an increase from 3.2 percent in 2019. Public debt stood at 47.6 percent of GDP by end-2020. Although many impacts of the COVID-19 shock persist, the economy is projected to continue its recovery in 2021. On the demand side, the recovery is supported by consumption and private investment. With security, humanitarian, health, and social challenges persistingthroughout the year, the fiscal deficit is projected to remain elevated at 5.2 percent of GDP. As concessional funding is finite and no other funding options are available, the Government will have to resort to more expensive borrowing in the regional market, which will shift the composition of the public debt stock towards a majority share of domestic debt. | en |
dc.description.abstract | Selon les dernières estimations,1 l’économie a connu une croissance de 2,0 % en 2020, soit 4 points de pourcentage de moins que prévu avant le début de COVID-19. Le secteur primaire a progressé de 5,2 %, grâce aux bonnes performances des cultures de subsistance et du coton. Le secteur secondaire a progressé de 12,8 %, grâce à l’essor de l’industrie aurifère. Le secteur tertiaire, la plus grande composante de l’économie, s’est contracté de 4,9 % en raison des mesures de distanciation sociale prises dans le cadre de la lutte contre la COVID-19. L’inflation est revenue en territoire positif en 2020 et a clôturé l’année au-dessus de 4 %. La pandémie a eu un impact positif sur le secteur extérieur et un impact négatif sur les comptes budgétaires. En 2020, la balance commerciale s’est améliorée de 1,0 point de pourcentage du PIB, soutenue par des prix de l’or historiquement élevés et des prix du pétrole bas. La balance des services, structurellement négative, s’est améliorée de 0,3 point de pourcentage du PIB en raison d’importations d’électricité moins chères en provenance des pays voisins. Le déficit budgétaire en pourcentage du PIB a atteint 5,2 % en 2020, une augmentation importante par rapport aux 3,2 % de 2019. La dette publique s’élevait à 47,6 % du PIB à la fin de 2020. Bien que de nombreux impacts du choc COVID-19 persistent, l’économie devrait poursuivre sa reprise en 2021. Du côté de la demande, la reprise serait soutenue par la consommation et l’investissement privé. Avec la persistance des défis sécuritaires, humanitaires, sanitaires et sociaux tout au long de l’année, le déficit budgétaire devrait rester élevé à 5,2 % du PIB. Les financements concessionnels étant limités et aucune autre option de financement n’étant disponible, le gouvernement devra 1 Tous les chiffres pour 2020 sont des estimations. recourir à des emprunts plus coûteux sur le marché régional, ce qui pourrait modifiera en 2021 la composition de l’encours de la dette publique en faveur d’une part majoritaire de la dette intérieure. | fr |
