Abstract

[fre] Les marchés boursiers d’Europe Centrale et Orientale et leur environnement : une transition inachevée . Au cours des dix dernières années, les pays en transition ont dû recréer, dans le domaine boursier, institutions, mécanismes et métiers abandonnés depuis un demi-siècle. Les résultats sont très variables selon les pays, mais partout le développement des marchés boursiers est en retard dans le processus de transition alors même qu’il doit y jouer un rôle essentiel. Le développement de systèmes financiers reste en retard par rapport à l’économie réelle, le crédit bancaire tient une place prépondérante et le rôle des Bourses est encore restreint. Les Bourses ont véritablement commencé à fonctionner avec la privatisation, mais l’organisation des marchés a été différente selon que la privatisation de masse a été ou non le mécanisme prépondérant. Une nouvelle transition s’impose à ces marchés pour renforcer leur rôle d’intermédiation financière tout en s’ouvrant à l’environnement international. . Classification JEL : G18, P20, P34 [eng] During the last ten years, transition countries had to rebuild from scratch stock exchanges which were put to a standstill more than fifty years ago. Progress in building stock markets is lagging in the process of transition, when they should play a major role. Capitalisation as a percentage of GDP is weak in comparison with Western developed economies. As stock exchanges started up in the wake of privatisation, their organisation was largely shaped according to the way privatisation occurred. Moreover stabilisation was a precondition for building domestic savings and attracting foreign investors, key features for an active market. These stock markets are now facing a new transition period. At the same time, more international openness, fostered by the EU accession process, should bring constraints and challenges for those markets. . JEL classifications : G18, P20, P34
