Abstract

In 2018, overnight deposits reached a record high in France, despite negative real interest rates (-1.7% on average in 2018 for non-financial corporations [NFCs], -1.2% for households). They concentrated 60% of all bank deposits. However, the share of broad money in households’ financial wealth remained stable at around 10%. Lending is the main source of money creation. In 2018, its growth rate in France exceeded that of the rest of the euro area (5.8% for household housing, 6.4% for NFCs, compared to 3.6% and 3.9% respectively in the euro area).Since mid-2014, NFC and household lending and deposit rates have converged downward in France and the euro area. Les dépôts à vue atteignent un plus haut niveau historique en France en 2018, malgré des taux de rémunération réels négatifs (– 1,7 % en moyenne en 2018 pour les sociétés non financières [SNF], – 1,2 % pour les ménages). Ils concentrent 60 % de l’ensemble des dépôts bancaires. Pour autant, la part de la monnaie au sens large dans le patrimoine financier des ménages reste stable à 10 % environ. Le crédit est la principale source de création monétaire. En 2018 son taux de croissance en France dépasse celui du reste de la zone euro (+ 5,8 % pour l’habitat des ménages, + 6,4 % pour les SNF, contre respectivement + 3,6 % et + 3,9 % en zone euro). Les taux des crédits et des dépôts des SNF et des ménages convergent à la baisse depuis mi-2014 en France et en zone euro.
