Abstract: While the Covid-19 shock to the world economy is, in many respects, unprecedented, the recovery that is expected could nevertheless be similar to past ones. Reconstruction and sectoral reallocation of activity and employment are processes that take time, and debt is likely to weigh on aggregate demand. The speed of the recovery will therefore depend less on the nature of the shock than on the measures taken to limit its impact.

Si le choc de la Covid-19 sur l’économie mondiale est, à maints égards, inédit, la reprise attendue pourrait néanmoins ressembler aux reprises passées. La reconstruction et réallocation sectorielle de l’activité et de l’emploi sont des processus qui prennent du temps, tandis que l’endettement est susceptible de peser sur la demande agrégée. La durée de la reprise dépendra donc moins de la nature du choc que des mesures prises pour limiter son impact.
