Abstract

[fre] La crise économique a été globalement perçue comme une crise de compte de résultat et non comme une crise de bilan. Dans la première, les ventes s’affaissent et il convient d’agir d’une part sur la trésorerie et d’autre part sur l’attractivité de la demande. Dans la seconde, il faut assumer la perte de richesse nette que constitue la destruction économique d’une partie de l’actif. Dans ce cas, la solution consiste normalement à reconstituer les fonds propres à hauteur des pertes d’actifs. Cette augmentation peut être utilisée pour diminuer l’endettement de sorte que les grands ratios de gestion soient respectés. Si cela a été effectué au niveau des entreprises, voire des ménages, c’est la politique contraire qui a été menée au niveau des États. Les déficits et l’endettement public se sont accrus considérablement. La reconstitution des ratios de bonne gestion publique est désormais un objectif majeur. Or les chiffres montrent que la réussite d’une telle politique est impossible. D’où l’idée qu’il serait préférable d’envisager une remise des dettes publiques. Celle-ci serait organisée par les banques centrales sous réserve que les gouvernements acceptent désormais le principe de l’équilibre budgétaire. En restaurant les finances publiques, c’est l’horizon de tous les agents économiques qui s’éclaircit et ce sont les conditions de la croissance qui sont reconstituées. .

The economic crisis has generally been perceived as a crisis of income statement and not as a balance sheet one. In the first case, sales decrease and it should be acted on cash on the one hand, and on the attractiveness of demand on the other. In a balance sheet crisis, it is necessary to bear the loss of net wealth. In this case, the solution is usually to build up again equity so that debts can be reduced and the major management ratios are being met. If this has been done at the firm level, even at the household level, the opposite policy was conducted at the state level. Deficits and public debt increased dramatically. The recovery ratios of good governance is now a major objective. However, data show that the success of such a policy is impossible. So, it would be preferable to consider a forgiveness of public debts. It would be held by central banks provided that the Government now accept the principle of balanced budgets. Once public finances are recovered, the horizon of all economic agents are cleared and the conditions for growth are restored. . Classification JEL : E42, E51, E52, E58, F34, F50. . .
