Abstract

[eng] The Long March towards the Setting Up of Clearing Houses in Credit Derivatives Markets . Despite the measures taken over the past years to limit systemic risks, the crisis that followed Lehman Brothers’ failure raises again the issue of counterparty risk transmission. One of the remedies put forward to resolve the problem is the introduction of a clearing mechanism on the credit derivatives market. This paper studies firstly the responsibility of risk transfer operations in the current global crisis, secondly the technical improvements to the negotiation and settlement procedures of Credit Derivatives Swaps, and lastly the advantages of, and limits to, the implementation of clearing houses at a European level in a context where the Anglo-Saxon operators have already organised part of the services they usually provide. What stands out is that the essential contribution to the issue is less the collateralization tools that banks are in a position to resort to than the performance bond itself. This taking of risk, even though hedged, raises in turn the question of the guarantee provided by the clearing house and eventually that of the possibility for European actors to stay isolated. . Classification JEL : G01, G13, G23. [fre] Malgré les mesures prises au cours des dernières années pour limiter les risques systémiques, la crise qui a suivi la faillite de Lehman Brothers pose de nouveau le problème de la transmission du risque de contrepartie. Une des pistes proposées pour remédier à ce problème est de mettre en place un processus de compensation sur le marché des dérivés de crédit. Nous explorons dans cet article la responsabilité des opérations de transfert de risque dans la crise globale actuelle, puis l’amélioration technique des modalités de négociation et de dénouement des CDS et enfin les avantages et limites de la mise en place, en Europe, de chambres de compensation, dans un contexte où les opérateurs anglo-saxons ont déjà organisé une partie des services qu’elles assurent habituellement. Il en ressort que l’apport fondamental tient moins aux outils de collatéralisation, qui peuvent être mis en oeuvre par de simples banques qu’à la garantie de bonne fin. Cette prise de risque, même couverte, pose à son tour la question de la garantie de la chambre de compensation et in fine celle de la possibilité pour des acteurs européens de demeurer isolés. .
