Abstract

[fre] La crise a montré la capacité des banques centrales à éviter l'effondrement des systèmes bancaires, mais également les limites de leur action de prévention des risques systémiques. La marchéisation considérable des financements fait qu'elles ne peuvent plus se limiter à une politique monétaire de lutte contre l'inflation des prix à la consommation et à la production, mais doit les amener à avoir une politique agissant contre des changements trop importants du prix des actifs financiers et immobiliers. La stabilité financière qui doit figurer dans leurs objectifs passe aussi par une modification profonde de leur politique de refinancement pour compléter les dispositifs prudentiels, notamment en matière de liquidité. La crise financière a en effet montré qu'il est indispensable de compléter les dispositifs microprudentiels par un suivi et des actions macroprudentielles impliquant les banques centrales. . Classification JEL : E52, E58, G18, G21 [eng] Reconsidering the Role of Central Banks . The ongoing crisis has shown the ability of central banks to avoid the collapse of banking systems. But it has also shown the limits of central banks preventive action with respect to systemic risks. The increasing rate of financial markets leads to the conclusion that central banks should not limit their policy to the stability of the prices of goods and services ; central banks need to include the stability of asset prices among their targets. It follows that central banks have to adapt their policies as to the refinancing of banks in order to complement existing prudential regulation with respect to the monitoring of liquidity. Indeed, this financial crisis has shown that microprudential regulation should be completed by macroprudential policies which require the action of central banks. . Classification JEL E52, E58, G18, G21
