Abstract

[fre] La politique de conseils du FMI aux pays émergents pendant cette crise a été différente de celle des crises précédentes. Mais ces différences sont principalement dues aux changements de circonstances. De nombreux pays émergents vivent la crise comme un choc totalement exogène : les fondamentaux intérieurs sont solides et des institutions améliorées facilitent un assouplissement discrétionnaire et crédible des politiques économiques. Les recommandations du FMI pour ces pays ont donc été assez proches de celles prodiguées en l’absence de crise, mettant l’accent sur des politiques contra-cycliques quand cela était possible. Certains de ces pays ont également bénéficié de nouvelles procédures de prêts qui permettent de restaurer la confiance en cas de crise. Toutefois, pour les pays dont les vulnérabilités intérieures sont importantes, les recommandations plus traditionnelles du FMI - réductions des déséquilibres extérieurs combinées à des politiques d’austérité et des réformes structurelles ciblées - sont apparues indiquées, même si l’augmentation des modalités de prêts et de ressources peuvent permettre à ces pays une mise en oeuvre des ajustements nécessaires à des coûts inférieurs en termes d’impact économique et social. . Classification JEL : N1, E6, F4. [eng] Policy advice to emerging market countries in the current crisis : what’s new ? what’s different ? why ? . IMF policy advice to EMEs in this crisis has been differed from that provided in previous EME crises. But these differences are largely driven by changed circumstances. Many EMEs are experiencing the current crisis as a wholly exogenous shock : domestic fundamentals are sound, and an improved institutional environment has facilitated credible discretionary policy loosening. The IMF’s policy advice for these countries is therefore closer to the advice in non-crisis periods, stressing countercyclical policy responses where feasible. Some of these countries have also benefited from new precautionary lending arrangements that can restore confidence before a crisis occurs. However, for countries with deeper-seated domestic vulnerabilities, more « traditional » IMF policy advice-reducing external imbalances through policy restraint and targeted structural reforms-appears to be warranted, although the augmentation of the IMF’s lending toolkit and resources should allow these countries to achieve the necessary adjustment at lower cost in terms of economic and social impact. . Classification JEL : N1, E6, F4.
