Abstract

[eng] The Triangle of Impossibility and China.. It seems that China is trying to reach simultaneously the three objectives of Mundell’s triangle of impossibility : free-moving capital, fixed exchange rate and autonomy in monetary policy. But, even if international capital flows are controlled, they remain nonetheless very important. In order to reach the three objectives, China has to get round the triangle by accumulating huge foreign exchange reserves and by controlling credit with quantitative measures that lead to distortions between the market interest rates and the regulated interest rates. . Classification JEL : E5, F31, F32, O53. [fre] La Chine semble vouloir atteindre simultanément les trois objectifs du triangle d’impossibilité de Mundell : libre circulation des capitaux, fixité des taux de change et indépendance de la politique monétaire. Or, les flux de capitaux internationaux ont beau être contrôlés, ils n’en restent pas moins très importants. Pour atteindre ces trois objectifs, la Chine doit donc détourner le triangle en accumulant d’énormes réserves de change et contrôler le crédit par des mesures quantitatives. Ceci a un prix, une distorsion entre les taux d’intérêt de marché et les taux administrés. . Classification JEL : E5, F31, F32, O53.
