Abstract

[fre] Cet article vise à évaluer l'intégration financière interne des pays de l'Asie orientale et à estimer leurs liaisons internationales. L'échantillon porte sur huit pays : la Corée, Hong Kong, l'Indonésie, la Malaisie, les Philippines, Singapour, Taiwan et la Thaïlande. Afin de capter d'éventuels changements récents, les tests sont menés sur données hebdomadaires sur une période récente. Une première partie rappelle les étapes de la libéralisation financière de ces pays. Afin d'évaluer l'intégration financière interne, l'impact du taux directeur contrôlé par la banque centrale sur les autres taux d'intérêt est testé par des relations de cointégration. De même, on estime la répercussion des taux call sur les taux internes. Les résultats invalident l'hypothèse de taux d'intérêt monolithiques, hypothèse qui est pourtant implicite dans la plupart des articles consacrés aux influences financières internationales sur la région asiatique. La deuxième partie évalue l'impact des taux américain ou japonais sur les taux d'intérêt des pays asiatiques, au moyen de tests de causalité à la Granger. Bien que l'échantillon porte sur des données très récentes, le rôle du yen apparaît très faible. Le statut dominant du dollar dans la région est confirmé. Cependant, les influences externes ne sont pas nécessairement répercutées à l'ensemble de l'économie. [eng] Interest rates in East Asian Countries : internal financial structures and international linkages. The purpose of this paper is to assess the integration of the different domestic financial markets and to provide a possible evidence of international linkages. The sample entails eight countries : Korea, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand. Tests are performed in a recent period with weekly data in order to catch possible recent changes. The first section of the paper describes the steps of the financial liberalisation in these countries. In order to assess the domestic financial integration, the transmission of the benchmark rate, which is managed by the central bank, to the other domestic rates is first tested through a cointegration relationship. The impact of the call rates on the domestic rates is then assessed. The results stultify the assumption of unified interest rates, which is nonetheless implicit in most studies bearing on international financial influences in the Asian region. The second section evaluates the transmission of American and Japanese interest rates to the Asian countries' ones using Granger-causality tests. Although the sample is based on recent data, the tests evidence a still limited role of the yen. The prevailing status of the dollar in the region is thus acknowledged. However, the external influences are not necessarily carried over into the whole of the economy.
