Abstract

[fre] Le cadre opérationnel de politique monétaire adopté par la BCE se caractérise par l’existence d’un système de réserves obligatoires qui semble relativement contraignant pour les banques commerciales, du moins en comparaison des systèmes en vigueur dans les pays de l’OCDE. L’auteur propose deux indicateurs simples qui permettent une comparaison internationale sans biais des contraintes en niveau et de coût que font peser les systèmes de réserves obligatoires sur les banques commerciales. La comparaison porte sur la zone euro, les pays de l’OCDE et les pays qui désirent entrer dans la zone euro. L’auteur montre qu’une convergence des systèmes nationaux de réserves obligatoires semble se dessiner, du moins en Europe, et que le système européen de réserves obligatoires n’impose pas plus de coûts aux banques commerciales que les systèmes existant dans les autres pays de l’OCDE. . Classification JEL : E52, E58 [eng] Required reserves : an overview . The operational framework for monetary policy chosen by the European Central Bank is characterized by a required reserves system that seems to be constraining for commercial banks, at least compared with the other OECD countries required reserves systems. The author calculates two basic indicators that allow for an unbiased international comparison of constraints, both in level and cost, of the required reserves systems. The comparison concerns euro zone, OECD members and countries which are likely to enter the euro zone. The author finds that a convergence of national systems seems to emerge, at least in Europe, and that ECB required reserves system is not costlier for commercial banks than alternative OECD countries systems. . JEL classification : E52, E58
