Abstract

Since 2007, the recurring current account deficits in France have tended to worsen. However, the trade in services balance and the primary income balance, which traditionally show a surplus, have limited or even offset the goods trade deficit, which hit a record high in 2021 due in particular to the energy bill. In 2019 and 2021, France returned to a current account surplus. But the sustainability of this current account surplus is by no means assured. Depuis 2007, le déficit récurrent du compte courant français tend à s’aggraver. Toutefois, le solde des échanges de services et celui des revenus primaires, traditionnellement excédentaires, limitent voire compensent le déficit des échanges de biens, qui a atteint un niveau record en 2021 du fait notamment de la facture énergétique. La France a ainsi récemment renoué avec l’excédent courant, en 2019 puis en 2021. La pérennité de cet excédent courant est toutefois loin d’être acquise.
