Abstract

The Québec economy is subject to economic, social and environmental risks. It is constantly mentioned that our companies now operate in a globalized environment, more competitive than ever. This document analyses the overall risks facing Quebec. Subsequently, a detailed analysis shows that the reading of the Chinese economy is more complex than current data suggest. Second, analysis of service offshoring in low-cost countries such as India shows that this response to increased competition is not without risk. Finally, innovation remains a key tool to support the competitiveness of Quebec firms. The analysis provides a better understanding of how to support this innovation and transform it into a tool for social, environmental and economic growth. L'économie québécoise est soumise à des risques de nature économique, sociale et environnementale. On mentionne sans cesse que nos entreprises opèrent maintenant dans un environnement globalisé, plus concurrentiel que jamais. Ce document fait une analyse des risques globaux auxquels le Québec fait face. Par la suite, une analyse fine montre que la lecture de l'économie chinoise est plus complexe que ce que suggèrent les données courantes. Ensuite, l'analyse de la délocalisation des services dans les pays à faible coût de production comme l'Inde montre que cette réponse à la concurrence accrue n'est pas sans risque. Finalement, l'innovation reste un outil clef pour soutenir la compétitivité des firmes québécoises. L'analyse permet de mieux comprendre comment soutenir cette innovation et la transformer en outil de croissance à la fois sociale, environnementale et économique.
