La reprise économique en Afrique subsaharienne a connu un coup d’arrêt brutal. L’an dernier, l’activité a fini par rebondir, ce qui a porté la croissance du PIB à 4,7 % en 2021. En revanche, en 2022, la croissance devrait ralentir fortement de plus de 1 point de pourcentage, à 3,6 %. En effet, le ralentissement de l’économie, un resserrement des conditions financières et une hausse spectaculaire de l’inflation à l’échelle mondiale se propagent à une région déjà éprouvée par une série ininterrompue de chocs. Le renchérissement des produits alimentaires et de l’énergie pénalise les populations les plus vulnérables de la région, tandis que la dette publique et l’inflation se situent à des niveaux inédits depuis des décennies. Dans ce contexte, et devant le peu d’options qui s’offrent à eux, de nombreux pays sont poussés sur la corde raide. Les perspectives à court terme pour l’Afrique subsaharienne sont extrêmement incertaines, sachant qu’elles sont liées à l’évolution de l’économie mondiale et que, sur le plan intérieur, plusieurs pays sont confrontés à une situation sociopolitique et sécuritaire délicate. Dans cet environnement difficile, les dirigeants doivent surmonter des crises socioéconomiques urgentes dès qu’elles surviennent, tout en s’efforçant aussi de réduire les facteurs de vulnérabilité face aux futurs chocs, ce qui renforcera la résilience. À terme cependant, une croissance de qualité s’avérera indispensable pour la stabilité et la prospérité de la région, et les mesures prises devront créer les conditions d’une reprise durable, ce qui aidera les pays à se mettre hors de danger.

The global economic downturn that followed the collapse of major US financial institutions is no doubt the most significant crisis of our times. Its effects on corporate and governmental balance sheets have been devastating, as have been its impacts on the employment and well being of tens of millions of citizens. It continues to pose major challenges to national policymakers and institutions around the world. Managing public uncertainty and anxiety is vital in coping with financial crises. This requires not just prompt action but, most of all, persuasive communication by government leaders. At the same time, the very occurrence of such crises raises acute questions about the effectiveness and robustness of current government policies and institutions. With the stakes being so high, defining and interpreting what is going on, how and why it happened, and what ought to be done now become key questions in the political and policy struggles that crises invariably unleash. In this volume, we study how heads of government, finance ministers and national bank governors in eight countries as well as the EU engage in such ‘framing contests’, and how their attempts to interpret the cascading events of the economic downturn were publicly received. Using systematic content analysis of speeches and media coverage, this volume offers a unique comparative assessment of public leadership in times of crisis.
