Abstract

[fre] L'ampleur des contraintes extérieures pesant sur les zones dites « en voie de développement » fait de leur desserrement une condition nécessaire, mais non suffisante, à toute croissance économique d'ici la fin de la décennie dans des pays qui, par choix ou par nécessité, se sont insérés dans les marchés mondiaux. Au Moyen-Orient la stagnation du pouvoir d'achat du pétrole, en Afrique la régression du pouvoir d'achat des matières premières, en Amérique latine la charge de la dette, en Asie le protectionnisme des pays industrialisés sont autant de risques qui laissent attendre une régression des niveaux de vie durant les années à venir. Pour qu'ils ne se matérialisent pas, il faudrait soit la conjonction — peu vraisemblable — d'hypothèses extrêmement favorables dans le cheminement de la croissance en OCDE, soit une modification de l'attitude du « Nord » face au « Sud ». [eng] Those so-called « developing countries » which, by choice or necessity, have become heavily involved in world trade are faced with huge external constraints which stand in the way of economic growth. The Middle East will suffer from the stagnation of the real price of oil ; Africa, from the decline of the real price of raw materials ; Latin America, from the burden of debt ; Asia, from the protectionism of industrialised countries. For all these reasons, the standard of living of most LDC's is likely to decline in the coming years. This could only be avoided if OECD countries were to either benefit from much better growth than seems likely, or change their attitude towards the third world.
