MCC · 39/100 — La note Magna est notre composite 0–100 de la puissance nationale structurelle — cinq dimensions, plus de 100 indicateurs. C'est l'évaluation propre du Bureau, pas un miroir des chiffres de la Banque mondiale ou de la CIA.
Momentum 0 — Momentum trimestriel : la lecture du Bureau sur la trajectoire du pays au dernier trimestre, de −10 (dégradation rapide) à +10 (accélération).
Un trimestre calme : ni choc majeur, ni percée. La trajectoire du pays est fixée par des forces structurelles plus grandes que n'importe quelle saison.
La lecture honnête est la stabilité — ni crise ni aubaine — avec les longs courants de la démographie, du commerce et des institutions qui décident plus que n'importe quel trimestre.
