Abstract

[eng] Financial Crisis and Monetary Policy.. Since 2007, financial markets and economies have been faced with a multiform crisis, which originated from specific market sectors, such as the US subprime credit component, and led to a systemic risk at the heart of the financial markets, causing major disruptions in funding markets as well as more recently in sovereign debt market. At each step in the gathering crisis, central banks have intervened in a timely and pragmatic fashion. They have provided emergency liquidity support and aggressively cut official interest rates in order to mitigate the consequences of the crisis in the financial markets and in the real economy. As a result of the severity of the crisis, central banks have also adapted their operational framework and have implemented innovative non conventional monetary policies. The nature of their response was conditioned by their explicit mandate and by the structure of their domestic funding mechanisms. Nonetheless the common objective was to lower the financing costs for the real economy and to ensure the smooth transmission of monetary policy. However, whilst the primary requirement concerns accommodative monetary policy, it remains paramount that expectations for future inflation remain firmly anchored. To this end, Central banks have defined the path to exit strategies, to ensure the normalization of their interventions in a medium term horizon. The implementation of these exit strategies is one of the post-crisis major challenges. . Classification JEL : E02, G01, E52, E58. . . [fre] La crise à laquelle les marchés financiers et les économies mondiales ont été confrontés depuis 2007 a pris des formes multiples. Elle s’est propagée de segments de marchés financiers spécialisés, comme celui des crédits hypothécaires américains, au coeur même du fonctionnement du système financier en provoquant des dysfonctionnements majeurs sur les marchés de refinancement ainsi que, plus récemment, sur certains marchés de dettes souveraines. À chaque stade, les banques centrales sont intervenues de manière pragmatique et rapide. Elles ont, dans un premier temps, fourni des liquidités en urgence et mené des politiques agressives de baisse de taux pour contenir les conséquences de la crise sur les marchés financiers et l’économie réelle. La gravité de la crise les a également amenées à adapter leur cadre opérationnel et mettre en place des politiques non conventionnelles, qui, selon les banques centrales et la structure de financement de l’économie domestique, ont visé à abaisser les coûts de financement de l’économie réelle et/ou à assurer le fonctionnement des mécanismes de transmission de leur politique monétaire. Le maintien de l’ancrage des anticipations d’inflation et le respect des mandats des banques centrales ont, dès la mise en place de mesures non conventionnelles, conduit à définir des stratégies de sorties, pour obtenir une normalisation de l’action des banques centrales à moyen terme. La mise en oeuvre de ces stratégies sera l’un des enjeux de l’après-crise. . Classification JEL : E02, G01, E52, E58.
