Abstract

Energy companies (producers, suppliers) are subject to physical and financial constraints, whose associated risks can be partly mitigated though derivatives markets. Financial agents, including banks, play a major role in financing these activities and are therefore directly or indirectly exposed to energy shocks. This article describes the mechanisms at work by examining the impact of the shock of the war in Ukraine on financial stability, which central banks are charged with safeguarding. The analysis also highlights the role of clearing houses in transmitting this shock. Les entreprises énergétiques (producteurs, fournisseurs) sont soumises à des contraintes physiques et financières dont les risques associés peuvent être en partie réduits par recours aux marchés dérivés. Les acteurs financiers, dont les banques, jouent un rôle prépondérant dans le financement de ces activités et sont ainsi directement ou indirectement exposés aux chocs énergétiques. Le présent article décrit les mécanismes à l’œuvre au travers de l’impact du choc de la guerre en Ukraine sur la stabilité financière, dont le maintien est au coeur des missions d’une banque centrale. L’analyse met également en exergue le rôle des chambres de compensation dans la transmission du choc.
