Transcript L`inversion des raretés, ou la crise des modèles de développement

This is Africa’s moment…
But for how long?
And how to take the best and most sustainable
advantage of it?

1. World Growth is Changing its Engine
2
Development is the success of the twentieth
century
Relative poverty is Education is in fast
declining sharply
progress
Child mortality is
declining

MDGs are in real progress
Millennium Development Goals Indicators

As well as HDI

Developing countries are becoming the
engines of growth for the world
6
OECD countries will face a difficult adjustment
and the US above all

World’s demand structure is
shifting

Many are lagging behind but more and
more are catching up

And more is to come

2. Four main development models based on
world inequalities shape the modern growth

2.1 The “Dutch disease vanquisher” model
2.2 The “double surplus sweatshop” model
2.3 The “sweatwalker” model
2.4 The “@sweater” model

2.1 The “dutch disease vanquisher” model

2.2 The double surplus sweatshop models (i)

theory

2.2 The double surplus sweatshop models (ii)
The reign of double surpluses

2.3 Exporting men: the emergence of the sweatwalker model

2.4 Newcomers to fast growth pattern: from @sweaters to
globalservice sweaters
After the world’s factory, the world’s desk (and hospital)?

3. High growth and rapid increase
of welfare apparently shape the
world, but…
the inversion of scarcities
questions the sustainability of this
successful pattern
17
3.1 The great demographic shift, or Man as a disposable
commodity
18
3.2 The end of nature
Overshooting: mankind’s footprint
Nature as a competitive asset

4. The three main channels for
unsustainability
20
4.1 Macroeconomic un-sustainability: the global link
21
Global imbalances in a world of reversed scarcities generate financial volatility,
private and public unsustainable indebtment pressure, exchange rate wars, and
ultimately lead into global recession
22
4.2 Social un-sustainability: both North and South
It is mainly rooted in inequalities and low employment generation growth

(but how long will it be?)

Africa is the major question mark of sustainability
for the second half of the century
• Growth and demographic patterns make it the combination of India and
China in social, environmental and macroeconomic challenge
• Africa’s size is the addition of Europe, the US, China, India, and more: it is
the cornerstone of the twentieth century assets economy
• Africa is already a disputed territory between the “new hungrys”: its fate
is structured south-south

Note: the dependency ratio is the ratio between the "dependent" population (aged 0-14 years old and 65 more) and the
population in “working age"(between 15 and 65). It is expressed as the number of "dependent" for 100 people in working age .

It will also face huge environmental
and social challenges…
• How many wars and civil wars due to
migration led conflicts in 2050?
• No more land and water – and expensive
energy in 2050?
• How many failed states still in 2050?
• One billion Africans below 2 usd a day in
2050?
• And how many “dependant”? (on which
economic model base?)
43
One major question is what model will bring Africa its
fastest and most sustainable pace of growth?
• The resources model still carries huge macro and
environmental challenges
• The double surplus model may not be under reach anymore
• The @sweater and the sweatrunner models cannot fix it all
• Is there a room for a domestic market making oriented policy?
44
key structural “benchmark policies” are
“no mistake” options
• An energy policy that reduces dependency
• An urban and transportation policy that
ensures productivity gains and environmental
upsides
• “externalities generating” policies have to be
favored: the case of water and health
• Africa has to take care of its elites, and has still
to generate its own private sector
• A financial market that allows domestic
currencies long term funding
45
ADB matters
• ADB has to and can carry an african vision of
development
• It links from South to North
• Its volumes matter
• Its instruments can make a difference
• It has imposed itself over the past years as the
premier bank of Africa
