Abstract

Depuis le mois d’août 2007, l’économie mondiale est frappée par une crise financière majeure qui plonge de nombreux pays dans les affres de la récession. La crise est venue du marché immobilier américain où de nombreux ménages ont été entraînés dans des montages spéculatifs – les prêts dits subprime – reposant sur la poursuite de la hausse des prix. La crise s’est ensuite propagée à l’ensemble du système financier par le biais de la titrisation, dont la finalité était pourtant de permettre une meilleure répartition des risques financiers. Loin d’être dilué, le risque s’est avéré concentré dans les portefeuilles des banques internationales qui ont alors subi des pertes colossales, conduisant notamment la banque d’affaires Lehman Brothers à la faillite en septembre 2008. La perte de confiance a gagné l’ensemble des marchés créant la panique et l’effondrement des cours boursiers. Les pertes de richesse et le durcissement des conditions de financement des agents non financiers ont freiné la consommation, l’investissement productif et en logement. Progressivement, la récession a touché un nombre toujours plus élevé de pays, industrialisés et en voie de développement. De fait, la crise remet en cause le schéma de croissance qui avait dynamisé l’économie mondiale depuis 2004. Elle est d’une telle ampleur qu’elle porte les germes d’un ralentissement durable de la croissance, le temps que le système bancaire mais aussi les ménages et les entreprises retrouvent une situation financière plus saine. De fait, la reprise n’est pas encore en vue, elle pourrait tarder à se manifester et surtout ne pas être suffisante pour effacer rapidement les pertes d’emplois constatées depuis plusieurs mois.
