Abstract

[eng] Country risk : is Eastern Europe specific ? . Apart from distinct past of other emergent countries and particularities, the specificity of Eastern Europe comes from the EU accession process. Today, we show that there is not any more default risk on public debt, or major fears on institutional environment. However a risk of economic crisis remains and must not be ignored. Paradoxically, this risk is linked to financial convergence implied by EU accession. This process is not easily compatible with the needed growth and purchase power catch up. . JEL classifications : F21, F34, F36, P34, P35 [fre] Outre une histoire antérieure distincte des autres pays émergents et certaines particularités, l'Europe de l'Est doit sa spécificité - en termes de risque pays - au processus d'adhésion à l'UE engagé depuis la chute du mur. Aujourd'hui, nous montrons qu'il n'existe plus, pour cette région, d'inquiétudes concernant le défaut sur la dette publique, ni de craintes majeures sur l'environnement institutionnel, mais que demeure un risque de crise économique qu'il serait dangereux de négliger. Ce dernier, paradoxalement, est lié au processus de convergence financière imposé pour rejoindre l'UE, processus qui reste difficilement compatible avec un nécessaire rattrapage en termes de croissance et de pouvoir d'achat. . Classification JEL : F21, F34, F36, P34, P35
