Traduction de «volatilité des chocs économiques » (Français → Anglais) :

Water scarcity is projected to become a major problem with almost half the world's population living in areas of high water stress by 2030[11]; New risks are emerging with potentially highly disruptive consequences (space weather related events, multi-risk events such as the 2011 Fukushima triple disaster, risks in a digital and high-tech era, including cyber risks); Extensive risk events (small scale, highly frequent, and localised events such as flash floods, fires and landslides) are often underestimated and under-reported but they nevertheless undermine local development as well as national competitiveness; Economies are globalised and ...[+++]increasingly structured around complex global supply chains; as demonstrated by the 2011 Floods in Thailand the economic shock of a disaster can ripple out to economies and businesses on the other side of the world; Economic and financial downturn puts pressure on national budgets to secure disaster risk management funding.

The strong policy framework in place has positioned the real and financial economy (in Canada) to cope with any new major economic shock, including a slowdown in U.S. growth.

The culture shock, the economic shock, for instance, the sensitivities, were not what they expected.

As the province with the most exposure to the U.S. economy, Ontario faces economic risks created by increased U.S. deficits, risks created by the amount of U.S. debt held by China and Japan and economic shocks created by global uncertainty.

If most EU economies react so differently to economic shocks, how can they adjust to an external shock?

The Community should in particular develop a shock-absorber mechanism capable of reacting promptly in the event of unexpected economic shocks which adversely affect given regions. 1 The Council of Ministers (Economic and Financial Affairs) has already begun these exercises.
