Abstract

At end-2020, non-residents held EUR 667 billion worth of shares in French CAC 40 companies, out of a total market capitalisation of EUR 1,672 billion, which corresponds to a holding rate of 39.9%, down for the seventh consecutive year. Changes in stock prices accounted for most of this decline. In 2020, non-residents purchased EUR 1.7 billion worth of CAC 40 shares, while residents were net buyers for a much higher amount, to the tune of EUR 10.5 billion. Non-resident investors were mainly from the euro area (43.9%), whose share is increasing, and from the United States (32.4%). À la fin de l’année 2020, les non-résidents détiennent 667 milliards d’euros d’actions des sociétés françaises du CAC 40, sur une capitalisation boursière totale de 1 672 milliards d’euros, ce qui correspond à un taux de détention de 39,9 %, en baisse pour la septième année consécutive. Les variations des cours boursiers expliquent la majeure partie de cette diminution. En 2020, les non-résidents acquièrent pour 1,7 milliard d’euros d’actions du CAC 40 alors que les résidents sont acheteurs nets pour un montant nettement supérieur, à hauteur de 10,5 milliards d’euros. Les investisseurs non résidents proviennent principalement de la zone euro (43,9 %), dont la part progresse, et des États-Unis (32,4 %).
