Abstract

G7 countries activated several economic policy levers to respond to the 2008 crisis, in particular monetary and fiscal policy. As a result, their ability to stimulate the economy or deal with future crises has been reduced. Consequently, the temptation to conduct beggar-thy-neighbour policies, despite their harmful effects, could be exacerbated. Even though its weight in global GDP has declined significantly since the late 1980s, the G7—whose presidency is held by France in 2019—remains the appropriate forum for curbing this temptation. Pour répondre à la crise de 2008, les pays du G7 ont dû mobiliser plusieurs leviers de politique économique, en particulier monétaire et budgétaire, si bien que leur capacité à relancer l’économie ou à faire face à une nouvelle crise s’est réduite. En conséquence, la tentation de mener des politiques non coopératives pourrait être exacerbée malgré ses effets néfastes. Bien que le poids du G7 dans l’économie mondiale ait sensiblement reculé, ce forum dont la France a pris la présidence en 2019, est l’espace privilégié pour prévenir cette tentation.
