Abstract

[eng] Credit cost : standard factors and market conditions . The Governor of the Bank of France has recently stated that in France, at present, credit pricing is not entirely reflecting the cost of its different components and that market regulations are not operating satisfactorily. Based on this assertion, this article deals first with four main elements taking part in credit cost assessment : financial resources, management charges, risk cover and earmarked capital. For each of them, some problems related to cost measurement are being dealt with. Secondly, some specificities of competition mechanisms on the credit market are being analysed, be they typical of the market in general or purely French mechanisms. These specificities enable to explain the reasons why a credit selling price may, at least on a temporary basis, not entirely reflect its cost. This analysis also leads to some comments on macroeconomic consequences of credit underbilling and on the necessary, but not sufficient, conditions for a better working of regulation on the credit market. [fre] Le gouverneur de la Banque de France a récemment indiqué qu'en France, actuellement, la tarification du crédit ne reflète pas suffisamment le coût de ses différentes composantes et que la régulation du marché ne s'effectue pas de manière satisfaisante. Sur la base de ce diagnostic, cette note passe en revue, en premier lieu, les quatre principaux éléments qui interviennent dans la détermination du coût d'un crédit : la ressource financière, les frais de gestion, la couverture du risque et les fonds propres alloués. Pour chacun d'eux, quelques problèmes liés à la mesure de leurs coûts sont abordés. En second lieu, certaines singularités des mécanismes de la concurrence sur le marché du crédit sont décrites, qu'elles soient d'ordre général ou spécifiquement françaises. Celles-ci permettent d'expliquer les raisons pour lesquelles le prix de vente d'un crédit peut, au moins temporairement, ne pas refléter en totalité le coût d'un crédit. Cette analyse conduit également à quelques remarques sur les conséquences macro-économiques d'une sous-facturation du crédit et sur les conditions nécessaires, mais non suffisantes, d'une meilleure régulation de ce marché.
