Abstract

[eng] Role of banks in financing Tunisian economy . This paper deals with the composition of external financings in Tunisia and its evolution during a period (1983-2005) of deep financial reforms. Using financial national accounts, we compute several financing ratios which allow us to assess the share of domestic banks in the financing of non-financial agents. According to our results, the share of loans offered by domestic banks does not exceed 19% of financings of the all non-financial agents (vs. 13% of the external financings of firms). The Tunisian financial system is still in a « bankarization » process. Our results provide evidence for the lack of impact of financial reforms which do not seem to have allowed the take-off of financings by claims. In a few words, Tunisian financial system is neither a bank-based system nor a market-based system. . JEL Classification : G10, G21, O16, O55 [fre] Cet article analyse la structure des financements externes en Tunisie et son évolution entre 1983 et 2005, période au cours de laquelle ont été conduites les principales réformes du secteur bancaire et financier. À partir des données financières de la comptabilité nationale tunisienne, les auteurs calculent un ensemble de ratios de financement qui leur permettent d’évaluer la part des banques dans le financement des agents non financiers. Les résultats permettent d’établir que cette part a progressé au cours de la période mais qu’elle reste faible. Le système financier tunisien est encore en phase de bancarisation. Ils montrent aussi, à partir de ces ratios, que les réformes financières n’ont pas non plus permis le développement des financements de marché. Le système financier tunisien n’est donc ni orienté banque, ni orienté marché. . Classification JEL : G10, G21, O16, O55
