The global economy is going through a period of exceptional uncertainty that combines the aftermath of the health crisis, the consequences of the Russia- Ukraine war, and the increasing impacts of climate change. [...] Fragmentation of the world economy is linked to the effects of the war, the potential decoupling between the economies of the major powers (United States-European Union- China-Russia), which would be associated with technological competition at the origin of more aggressive and protectionist industrial policies, and a redefinition of macroeconomic policies in Western countries. [...] At the heart of the AES is the drive to understand the economic repercussions of these uncertainties, the risks they pose to the evolution of African economies, and the structural transformations that the continent needs to accelerate. [...] In this context, public policies and the decisions that reflect them should seek and strike a delicate balance between the requirements of economic and social recovery in the short term, and structural transformation in the medium and long terms. [...] • The integration of African economies, particularly in the framework of regional groupings, could be seen as a remedy for the old ills of the continent’s economies, but also as a response to the emerging needs of the populations, both in terms of employment and living conditions.
