Abstract

At the end of 2018, non-residents held EUR 557 billion worth of shares in French CAC 40 companies, or 42.2% of a total market capitalisation of EUR 1,319 billion. The rate of non-resident ownership thus declined for a fifth consecutive year, primarily due to a change in the composition of the index. Non-residents purchased a net total of EUR 5 billion of CAC 40 shares in 2018, whereas resident investors purchased a higher total of EUR 8.5 billion. Some 44.2% of non-resident investors are based in euro area countries, while 33% are based in the United States. À la fin de l’année 2018, les non-résidents détiennent 557 milliards d’euros d’actions des sociétés françaises du CAC 40, sur une capitalisation boursière totale de 1 319 milliards, soit un taux de détention de 42,2 %, en baisse pour la cinquième année consécutive. Cette baisse s’explique pour l’essentiel par un changement dans la composition de l’indice. Les non-résidents achètent pour 5 milliards d’euros d’actions du CAC 40 en 2018. Les résidents en acquièrent davantage, à hauteur de 8,5 milliards. Les investisseurs non résidents proviennent pour 44,2 % de la zone euro, et pour 33 % des États-Unis.
