Abstract

[fre] Résumé Entre 1880 et 1914, l'Argentine connaît la croissance économique la plus rapide de son histoire. Les investissements britanniques, mais aussi français y jouent un rôle de la plus grande importance. Cette pénétration des capitaux français s'explique bien par l'analyse des groupes d'investissement, au sein desquels les banques jouent un rôle hégémonique: les plus importantes sont la Banque de Paris et des Pays-Bas, la Société Générale, puis la Banque de Paris et des Pays-Bas, la Société Générale, puis la Banque de l'Union Parisienne. Elles doivent une grande partie de leur réussite à l'action de leurs agents ou intermédiaires à Buenos Aires. Un instant éprouvées par la banqueroute de 1890, elles reprennent de plus belle leur activité jusqu'à la première guerre mondiale, favorisant des flux de plus en plus importants d'investissement, notamment de 1902 à 1914. [eng] Abstract Argentina saw the greatest economic growth in its history between 1880 and 1914. British, but also French, investment, played a major role in this development. The penetration of French capital is well accounted for by the analysis of investor groups, within which banks hold a dominant position: the major banks involved are the Banque de Paris et des Pays-Bas and the Société Générale, followed by the Banque de l'Union Parisienne. They owe a great deal of their success to the action of their agents or intermediairies in Buenos Aires. Hurt for a short time by the 1890 default, they resumed and increased their activities until the First World War, allowing greater and greater inward flows of investment, especially between 1902 and 1914.
