Abstract
[eng] This article reflects on the challenges that need to be met in order to complete the transition from command to market economy. Experience has demonstrated that the process of transition is complex, difficult and lengthy. The dislocations and stresses can be profound and severe. There can be setbacks and crises along the way. However, this must not obscure the fact that there have been remarkable changes over the last ten years. Great strides have been made by most countries. Nevertheless, while progress has been made, many challenges still lie ahead. This article presents lessons that we can learn after ten years of transition, particularly concerning reforms, institutions building, and economic governance. It tries also to explain the main challenges in each subregion. . JEL classifications : P20 [fre] Les principaux défis à relever pour mener la transition à son terme . Cet avant-propos explicite les défis à relever pour faire aboutir la transition d’une économie dirigée à une économie de marché. L’expérience des pays de l’Est a montré que le processus de transition est long, complexe et difficile. Les bouleversements et les tensions peuvent être profonds et sévères et l’on peut s’attendre à subir des revers et des crises. Toutefois, cela ne doit pas faire oublier que les dix dernières années ont vu naître des changements remarquables. Des progrès considérables ont été accomplis par de nombreux pays. Cette réflexion tente de tirer les enseignements des dix années de transition concernant les réformes engagées, la mise en place des institutions, la gouvernance économique et tente de cerner les progrès à réaliser pour mener la transition à son terme dans chaque région. . Classification JEL : P20
