Towards a more robust, inclusive, and resilient economy !

The press release of the IMF Article IV Mission conveying the preliminary findings on the economy was quite diplomatic as expected , highlighting fiscal consolidation as a priority. A primary fiscal deficit (exc. capital spending) of 2.9% of GDP in 23/24 is quite high, by IMF standards. Growth in 2024 is less optimistic at 4.9% compared with official forecast of 6.5%.

The 1999 riots, 25 years later, what has changed ?

Most of the participants at the ICJM conference on the above title and some of our top opinion leaders are of the view that nothing much has changed and that the country is not immune to such riots in the future.

My comments on Nad Sivaramen’s editorial in today’s l’express: "The Perpetuation of Ethnicity and Loyalty"

Some extracts :

“…This year, it seems, the same ethnic formula will likely follow… …These politicians who plow their constituency know that it's not on the level of ideas that a legislative campaign is played out. When they "go down" to the field, when they go door-to-door, they appeal to the lowest instincts of the population, those that divide people while promoting a supposed discourse of national unity. ……In short, it appears that nothing is changing despite all the talk of change. So, what exactly is change?”
