Abstract

[eng] International accounting standards and the new capital adequacy ratio for banks : opportunities and threats . The new international accounting (or financial reporting) standards (IAS or IFRS), together with the new prudential solvency ratio for banks (the MacDonough ratio), are just about to make it a whole new ballgame. Such new rules have emerged to reflect the changes affecting our global financial economy, and to rectify, to a certain extent, the inaccuracies pertaining to the previous rules, made obvious by the most recent financial crises. After revealing how such innovations carry an unambiguous improvement, the authors explain why the implementation of such new rules also conveys a fair amount of macro-financial risks. Inherent to . the nature of the new standards are the risks of increased financial instability, and those of amplified credit procyclicality. Being aware of potential dangers should lead to further debate, in order to limit the most worrying effects of the new standards. . JEL classification : G21, G28, M41 [fre] Les nouvelles normes comptables (IAS ou IFRS) comme le nouveau ratio prudentiel bancaire (Mac Donough) vont très prochainement entrer en application. Elles ont été produites de façon à prendre en compte l'évolution de l'économie financière globalisée et les défaillances des règles antérieures révélées par les récentes crises financières. Après avoir montré en quoi ces innovations apporteront un indéniable progrès, les auteurs s'attachent à expliciter les risques macro-financiers induits par l'implémentation de ces nouvelles normes. Les risques d'instabilité financière accrue comme de pro-cyclicité renforcée du crédit sont inscrits dans la conception même de ces normes. Il s'agit d'en prendre conscience afin de provoquer une concertation permettant d'en limiter les effets les plus inquiétants. . Classification JEL : G2l, G28, M41
