Economic and Social Conditions in North Africa 2012-2013 : Twenty-ninth meeting of the intergovernmental committee of experts (ICE)

In North Africa, the year 2013 witnessed the impacts of the slowdown of global growth and by the continuation of the transitions relating to the socio-political crises in many countries of the subregion. The slowdown of the global economy took place in a context of continued tight fiscal disciplines in many developed countries, a high rate of unemployment and the contraction of the global external demand which resulted in the slowdown of growth in many emerging countries. Like many other developing areas, North Africa suffered from this poor climate, while facing more acute challenges. This report analyses and assesses the economic and social developments over the last year and the prospects of the sub-region and of the countries for the upcoming year. In particular, it provides basic data and information on recent development policies in order to stimulate a wider debate between Member States, intergovernmental organizations and other development actors. It also suggests recommendations to be discussed and completed by the participant to the XXIXth meeting of the Intergovernmental Committee of Experts (ICE), in order to identify the most appropriate orientations and measures for the development challenges facing the countries and the sub-region as a whole.
