La rupture de la croissance française

Abstract

[eng] From 1 974 on, economic growth in France is only 3 % per year. This is half the rate of the past. Meanwhile the inflation rate has doubled. This shift is not due to an exhaustion of the dynamism of the physical factors of growth. On the contrary, it is the weakening of the expansion which explains the slowing down of productivity. The shift is no more attributable to the choling of a demand getting close to saturation after thirty years of rapid progress of material living standard. On the contrary the demand is limited by the induced effects of stagflation, and also by the balance of payments constraint : the increase of the oil bill and the slowing down of the economic growth in our commercial partner countries has set up an external constraint and has marked the bounds of our growth capabilities. [fre] Depuis 1974, l'expansion française n'est plus que de 3 % par an, deux fois plus faible que par le passé, alors que l'inflation a été presque doublée. Cette rupture n'est pas imputable à un épuisement du dynamisme des facteurs physiques de la croissance. Au contraire, c'est l'affaiblissement de l'expansion qui explique celui de la productivité. La rupture n'est pas non plus explicable par l'essoufflement d'une demande qui commencerait d'être saturée après trente ans de vive progression des niveaux de vie matériels. En revanche la demande est limitée par des enchaînements stagflationnistes, ainsi que par la contrainte d'équilibre extérieur : l'accroissement de la facture pétrolière et l'affaiblissement de la croissance de nos partenaires commerciaux limitent, par le jeu de cette contrainte, nos possibilités d'expansion.
