Abstract

France is the fifth largest issuer of debt securities, far behind the United States (39% of the world total), Japan and China. Its share of the world total (5%) is close to that of the United Kingdom, but higher than that of Germany (4%). French debt is highly international, as it accounts for 8% of the liabilities recorded in the world’s external positions, i.e. the second most held by non-residents, still far behind the United States. Between 2008 and 2019, France’s share of total recorded global liabilities, including intra-euro area liabilities, remained more or less stable (between 8.7% at end-2008 and 8.2% at end-2019), unlike Germany and the United Kingdom, whose shares fell from 10.5% and 9.4% respectively at end-2008 to 6.0% and 7.5% at end-2019. La France est le cinquième pays émetteur de titres de dette, loin derrière les États-Unis (39 % du total mondial), le Japon et la Chine. Sa part dans le total mondial (5 %) est proche de celle du Royaume-Uni, mais supérieure à celle de l’Allemagne (4 %). La dette française est très internationale puisqu’elle représente 8 % des engagements recensés dans les positions extérieures du monde, soit la deuxième la plus acquise par des non-résidents, toujours loin derrière les États-Unis. Entre 2008 et 2019, la part de la France dans le total des engagements internationaux recensés, y compris intra-zone euro, est restée à peu près stable (entre 8,7 % fin 2008 et 8,2 % fin 2019), contrairement à l’Allemagne et au Royaume-Uni, dont les parts sont revenues, respectivement, de 10,5 % et 9,4 % fin 2008 à 6,0 % et 7,5 % fin 2019.
