Abstract

[eng] The evolution of short-term capital movements between France and foreign countries (1967-1978), . by Jean Mathis. . The purpose of the article is to clarify the contents of short-term financial flows between France and foreign countries and to describe their evolution between 1967 and 1978 as well as the reasons therefor. . The first part, of a methodological nature, emphasizes the key role of importers and exporters and explanes those behaviours which lead to such movements. A classification of the latter in three categories is needed for the analysis commercial credits are primarily a function of exports and imports whereas the capital movements of the banking sector as well as leads and lags fundamentally depend on foreign exchange expectations, but they are used under different circumstances. . The former are used when foreign exchange control allows. Leads and lags seem to be preferred when cash available to entreprises is sufficient to anticipate a payment or to delay the collection of a debt. . The second part of the article studies the evolution of the banking sector capital for which stock data are available. . The article aims at assessing the role of the various factors and concludes in particular that foreign exchange control is efficient when it is sufficiently strict. . An appendix sums up the major steps taken to regulate foreign exchange between 1967 and 1978. [fre] L'évolution des mouvements de capitaux à court terme entre la France et l'extérieur de 1967 à 1978, . par Jean Mathis. . L'article cherche à préciser le contenu des flux financiers à court terme entre la France et l'extérieur et à décrire leurs évolutions de 1967 à 1 978 et leurs raisons. . Une première partie, de caractère méthodologique, met en relief le rôle central des importateurs et des exportateurs et explique ceux de leurs comportements qui conduisent à ces mouvements. Le classement de ces derniers en trois catégories s'impose dans l'analyse : les crédits commerciaux sont essentiellement fonction des exportations et des importations tandis que les mouvements de capitaux du secteur bancaire et le termaillage dépendent fondamentalement des anticipations de change, mais sont employés dans des circonstances différentes. . Les premiers le sont lorsque le contrôle des changes le permet. Le termaillage semble préféré lorsque les entreprises disposent d'une trésorerie suffisamment aisée pour pouvoir avancer un paiement ou retarder un encaissement. . Une deuxième partie étudie l'évolution des capitaux du secteur bancaire pour lesquels les données sont disponibles en encours. . L'article s'efforce d'évaluer la part des différents facteurs et conclut notamment que le contrôle des changes est efficace lorsqu'il est suffisamment strict. . Les principales mesures de réglementation des changes qui se sont succédé de 1967 à 1978 sont résumées dans une annexe.
