Abstract

[eng] Banking system and private equity/LBO risk . French banks have been intimately involved with the domestic and European expansion of the private equity industry in recent years and have become key players in the selection, preparation and financing of the top LBO deals. The current context of the financial crisis highlights, for those who might still be in the dark, the sources of risk this activity poses for the banking sector. This article begins by reviewing the characteristics of LBOs and presents the role French banks play in this market, then analyses the various risks associated with this activity. Lastly, it presents the characteristics of the new Basel II regulatory framework and its expected benefits, primarily from the implementation of a more precise measure on incurred risks and higher demands for bank disclosures, with a view to enhancing market discipline. . JEL Classification : G21, G24, G28 [fre] Les banques françaises ont accompagné l’essor du marché domestique et européen du capital-investissement au cours des dernières années et sont devenus des acteurs incontournables de la sélection et de l’organisation des principales opérations de LBO, ainsi que de leur financement. Le contexte actuel de la crise financière met en lumière, s’il en était besoin, les sources de risques que représente cette activité pour le secteur bancaire. Après avoir rappelé les caractéristiques de la technique du LBO et présenté le rôle des banques françaises sur ce marché, cet article analyse les divers risques qui sont attachés à cette activité. Il présente enfin les caractéristiques du nouveau cadre réglementaire Bâle II et les avantages qui en sont attendus, s’agissant notamment de la mise en place d’une mesure plus fine des risques encourus et d’une exigence accrue en matière de publication par les banques d’informations en vue de favoriser la discipline de marché. . Classification JEL : G21, G24, G28
