Abstract

[fre] Pour mesurer le rôle international de l'euro, le présent article adopte un cadre qui, dans son essence se fonde sur l'équilibre des portefeuilles, autour d'un concept selon lequel le poids international d'une monnaie est fonction de la confiance qu'elle inspire aux gestionnaires d'actifs comme réserve de valeur. Il s'ensuit que les fluctuations à moyen et long terme du cours de cette monnaie seront déterminées par l'équilibre entre la demande d'actifs et l'offre de passifs. Dans cet esprit, l'article examine d'abord les modes d'émission internationaux en euros et les compare à ceux du dollar. Il aborde ensuite les flux de portefeuille entre la zone euro, les États-Unis et le Japon, puis le rôle de l'euro sur les changes. Il utilise les résultats de l'enquête triennale la plus récente de la BRI sur les marchés des changes pour comparer le rôle de la monnaie unique à celui de ses prédécesseurs et des autres grandes monnaies. . Classification JEL : F3, F36 [eng] The euro in international financial markets : where do we stand ? . In evaluating the international role of the euro, this article adopts a portfolio balance framework. The international weight of a currency is measured by the extent to which it inspires the trust of international asset managers as a store of value. As a consequence, medium to longer-term fluctuations in the value of the currency will be determined by the balance between the demand for assets and the supply of liabilities denominated in that currency. The note examines first the international issuance patterns in the euro and compares them to those of the US dollar. It then focuses on the patterns of international portfolio flows between the euro area, the United States and Japan. The final section examines the role of the euro in international currency markets. It uses the results of the most recent BIS triennial foreign exchange rate survey to compare the role of the single currency to that of its predecessors and the other major world currencies. . JEL classification : F3, F36.
