Abstract

At the end of 2019, non-residents held EUR 686 billion worth of shares in French CAC 40 companies, or a total of EUR 1,684 billion. This represents 40.8% of the total holdings and is down 7 percentage points on its 2013 peak. Non-resident holders are mainly from the euro area (43.1%) and the United States (33.7%). In 2019, non-residents purchased EUR 500 million worth of shares in French CAC 40 companies, while residents were net sellers to the tune of EUR 1.9 billion. During the first quarter of 2020, these flows reversed fairly significantly, with non-residents becoming net sellers and residents net buyers, in the amount of EUR 15 billion and EUR 20.7 billion respectively. À fin 2019, les non-résidents détiennent 686 milliards d’euros d’actions des sociétés françaises du CAC 40, sur un total de 1 684 milliards, soit un taux de détention de 40,8 %, en baisse de 7 points depuis le pic de 2013. Les non-résidents proviennent principalement de la zone euro (43,1 %) et des États-Unis (33,7 %). En 2019, les non-résidents acquièrent 500 millions d’euros d’actions des sociétés françaises du CAC 40, tandis que les résidents sont vendeurs nets à hauteur de 1,9 milliard d’euros. Au cours du premier trimestre 2020, les flux s’amplifient et s’inversent même : les non-résidents deviennent vendeurs nets et les résidents acheteurs nets, respectivement à hauteur de 15 et 20,7 milliards d’euros.
