Abstract

Companies’ cash holdings as measured at aggregate level in the monetary statistics are higher than before the Covid crisis. But according to our business survey, business leaders have a less positive perception of their individual situation than before. In this post, we suggest a reason for this: the abundant liquidity provided by SGLs may have led business leaders to revise upwards the cash position deemed necessary to carry out their activities. L’encours de trésorerie des entreprises mesuré au niveau agrégé dans les statistiques monétaires est plus élevé qu’avant la crise du Covid. Or, selon notre enquête de conjoncture, la perception qu’ont les chefs d’entreprises de leur situation individuelle est au contraire moins bonne qu’avant. Dans ce billet, nous suggérons une explication : à la suite notamment des abondantes liquidités procurées par les PGE, les chefs d’entreprise auraient révisé à la hausse le niveau de trésorerie jugé nécessaire pour mener leurs activités.
