| Accelerating MDB Reform to Address Today’s Global Challenges
To better respond to today’s global crises, the MDBs must transform themselves. The MDB Reform Accelerator is mobilizing the evidence-based analysis and strategic outreach needed to ensure MDB reform delivers real results for development, climate, and other global challenges.
The world has changed since the creation of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank—the world’s first international financial institutions—over 75 years ago. The shared challenges facing humanity have only grown more pressing and existential. From pandemics to climate change to financial distress and the looming public debt breakdown, the world is entering an era of polycrises, characterized by a multiplicity of shocks, to which countries of the Global South are most exposed. At the same time, these countries face tremendous development challenges. Some are on the path to achieving milestones by implementing appropriate safety nets and adopting frontier technologies that allow them to leapfrog over the development process. Others risk falling further behind.

Les monnaies numériques des banques centrales : où en est-on ? Où va-t-on ?
Face à l’essor des cryptomonnaies, les banques centrales sont en train de réagir en lançant leurs propres monnaies numériques.

Il s’agit aussi d’analyser les conditions et certaines des conséquences d’une telle innovation financière, en distinguant systématiquement les MNBC de gros et les MNBC de détail.

The global economy faces a lost decade
In 2010, when I was one of the vice presidents at the World Bank, colleagues and I published a very upbeat book about the possibility of emerging and developing economies replacing advanced countries as engines of global economic growth. While the latter would be grappling with the aftermath of the global financial crisis, the former, already growing at a faster pace in the previous decade and accounting for more than half of the annual increases in global GDP, had largely shown an appetite for carrying out structural reforms needed to converge with the richest.

Le Ramadan : au-delà du jeûne, l’éthique du travail
Davantage qu'un acte de piété personnelle, le Ramadan est un phénomène éminemment social. Il renvoie à des dimensions complexes : de religion, de solidarité, d’éthique et aussi d’économie. Le jeûne du mois de Ramadan est évidemment l'une des obligations rituelles de l'Islam. Mais, plus que religieux (qui renvoie à l'institutionnalisation et l'objectivation), le Siyam est un fait spirituel (qui renvoie davantage à l’individuation et la subjectivation). Il donne lieu à des prières surérogatoires (taraouih) et des retraites...

| Les relations entre l’Union européenne et le Royaume-Uni à l’aune des accords de Windsor
Bruxelles et Londres ont amorcé un partenariat nouveau avec la conclusion des accords de Windsor qui définirent un nouveau statut juridique propre à l’Irlande du nord permettant d’éviter le rétablissement d’une frontière physique entre les deux Irlande, afin de ne pas fragiliser le processus de paix sur l’île amorcé par les accords du Vendredi Saint du 10 avril 1998 qui prévoit notamment un partage de pouvoir entre les deux communautés nationaliste et unioniste pour permettre l’auto-administration de la province britannique.
