MCB · 46/100 — 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).
Le trimestre s'est écoulé sans tournant décisif. La gouvernance a continué, les marchés ont fonctionné, et le score reflète cette absence d'événements.
Pour des pays comme celui-ci, la vraie histoire est toujours la lente — et ce trimestre n'y a ajouté aucun nouveau chapitre.
