Abstract

[eng] The Yen : a billing currency ? . This study deals with the following question : how may one estimate the potential demand for a given foreign currency by firms ? A model is proposed for doing this by examining the relative share in external trade of transactions denominated in the concerned foreign currency. The problem of foreign-currency demand is of particular relevance for the yen. This is because the yen plays a relatively minor role for invoicing purposes although it is rather widely held as a reserve currency, for instance in the South-East Asia region. Instead, firms appear to often select the US dollar, notably for their transactions with Japanese counterparts.. The results derived from the proposed model permit to investigate the effects of general market conditions, as well as the effects of the depth and liquidity of the local foreign exchange market. This is based on a simulation exercise whereby average foreign exchange transaction costs are aligned on a chosen international reference.. Directions for future research should include the examination of the impact of monetary co-ordination between countries in the South East Asia region, if one would take into account strategic interactions between economies with respect to the choice of a reference invoicing currency. [fre] Le problème économique posé au départ de cette étude est d'estimer la demande potentielle de monnaie étrangère par les entreprises compte tenu de la part des transactions commerciales réalisées en devises. Cette problématique est conçue par référence à la situation du yen. La devise japonaise constitue en effet une monnaie de réserve relativement importante pour de nombreux pays, notamment d'Asie du Sud-Est, tout en étant relativement peu utilisée par les entreprises de ces pays. Le dollar est en fait souvent préféré au yen, notablement pour une part importante des transactions réalisées avec des entreprises japonaises.. Les résultats présentés permettent d'étudier les effets des conditions de marché globales ainsi que de la profondeur et de la liquidité du marché des changes local, sur la base d'une simulation d'un alignement des coûts moyens des transactions de change sur une référence internationale. Des travaux futurs permettraient également d'examiner les effets de la coordination monétaire entre pays d'Asie du Sud-Est, dans le cas où il est tenu compte des interactions stratégiques entre pays par rapport à la décision de choisir telle ou telle monnaie pour libeller les échanges extérieurs.
