Abstract

[fre] Désormais, phénomène nouveau, les problèmes de balance des paiements coexistent avec une croissance ralentie. Ce constat fournit le point de départ du bilan sur l'évolution de nos échanges extérieurs depuis 1970. L'année 1974 marque une rupture dans les tendances passées; après cette date, les succès enregistrés sur les échanges industriels, surtout hors de l'OCDE, se sont avérés insuffisants pour rééquilibrer une balance commerciale très obérée par le poids de l'énergie et mal soutenue par les produits agricoles et les biens de consommation. Les progrès réalisés sur les autres postes de la balance des paiements se sont révélés sans commune mesure avec le déficit à combler. Des moyens éprouvés dans le passé, comme la dépréciation du franc, semblent aujourd'hui moins adaptés dans un système de changes flottants, et il a fallu recourir à l'emprunt; la charge des déficits actuels est ainsi reportée dans un avenir que l'on prévoit plus favorable. [eng] A study of direction de la Prevision The change in French exterior exchanges since 1970 - Henceforth a new problem in economics will present itself, that of the coexistence of the balance of payments and a slowed down growth in the economy. This contrasting situation provides the point of departure for an evaluation of the evolution of exterior exchanges since 1970. The year 1974 marks a rupture in the past tendencies : after this daté, the successes recorded for industrial exchanges, especially outside of the OECD, have proven to be unsufficient to re-equilibrate a commercial balance already heavily in debt by the price of energy materials, and unsufficiently aided by agricultural products and consumption goods. The progress recorded in other areas of the balance of payments have been shown to be without much effect on the deficit to be payed off. Measures tried in the past, such as the depreciation of the franc, seem today much less useful in a system of floating exchanges, and it has been necessary to turn to borrowing. The expense of these deficits of today is thus put off to a future moment when economic predictions are more favorable. [spa] Un estudio de la dirección de la Prevision. La mutacion de los intercambios exteriores de Francia desde 1970 - Fenómeno nuevo de hoy en adelante, los problemas planteados por la balanza de pagos permanecen si bien con un incremento ralentizado. Esta comprobación constituye el punto de partida del balance relativo a la evolución de nuestros intercambios exteriores desde 1970. El ano 1974 revela una ruptura de las tendencias anteriores; a partir de esa fecha, los éxitos que se registraron con relación a los intercambios industriales, sobre todo fuera de la OCDE, se averiguaron escasos para reequilibrar una balanza comercial sumamente entrampada a causa de la carga impuesta por la energia y pésimamente sostenida por los productos agricolas y los bienes de con- sumo. Los progresos registrados en los demis renglones de la balanza de pagos no pueden superar el deficit que se tenia que veneer. Medidas que se tomaron con éxito en el pasado, taies como la desvalorización del franco, aparecen hoy dia poco apropiadas en un sistema de cambios fiotantes y fué preciso acudir al empréstito; la carga de los deficitos actuates se trasladará por lo tanto a un futuro que se puede prever más propicio.
