Abstract

[fre] Les banques américaines avaient abordé le XXI e siècle avec des taux de rentabilité financière élevés, mais l’éclatement de la crise des subprimes à l’été 2007 a, en moyenne annuelle, réduit ces taux de moitié. Moins de quatre ans après le paroxysme de la crise financière, les banques américaines ont renoué avec les profits plus rapidement qu’escompté, surtout au regard de la profondeur de la crise. Le redressement a toutefois largement résulté de la décrue du coût du risque, par nature non reproductible, tandis que les revenus devraient être durablement pénalisés par le contexte de désendettement du secteur non financier, une configuration des taux moins favorable et un cadre réglementaire renforcé. Profondément marqué du sceau de la crise financière, le nouveau contexte économique, financier et réglementaire qui se dessine pourrait peser durablement sur les performances financières des banques américaines et redéfinir, au moins partiellement, les contours des modèles bancaires qui coexistaient avant la crise. . Classification JEL : G01, G21, G28. [eng] US Banks after the Financial Crisis : Forced to Adapt.. US banks entered the 21st century with high rates of return but they were slashed in half, on an average annual basis, by the outbreak of the subprimes crisis in the summer of 2007. Less than four years after the worst of the financial crisis, US banks have swung back into profits more rapidly than expected, especially given the severity of the crisis. Yet the turnaround was largely due to the decline in the cost of risk, which by nature cannot be replicated, while revenues risk being handicapped over the long term by debt reduction in the non-financial sector, a less favorable interest rate configuration and a tighter regulatory framework. Deeply marked by the financial crisis, the new economic, financial and regulatory environment that is taking shape could put a lasting strain on the financial performances of US banks, and at least partially redefine the banking models that co-existed before the crisis. . Classification JEL : G01, G21, G28.
