Abstract

[fre] Cet article tente de répondre aux questions suivantes : Quels ont été le rôle et les effets de la gouvernance des banques dans le développement de la crise ? Quelles leçons tirer de la crise systémique pour situer les objectifs d’une régulation, et comment articuler gouvernance et régulation ? La thèse soutenue est double. Le sentier d’expansion d’une banque résulte usuellement d’un équilibre entre les effets antagonistes de la gouvernance des actionnaires et de celle des déposants ; dans la crise récente, l’émergence du too big to fail effect a annihilé l’effet disciplinant des «ruées bancaires » . Logiquement, il en est résulté un accroissement du risque porté par les banques. La régulation bancaire doit avoir pour principaux objectifs d’inciter les banques à revenir à leurs fondamentaux, de restaurer les vertus de la faillite et de limiter un risque systémique qui est nouveau et déstabilisant. Dans cette perspective, plusieurs pistes sont discutées : la limitation de la taille des banques, la création d’un régime spécial de faillite pour les banques, la limitation de la titrisation et le principe d’une régulation contingente à la gouvernance de la banque. . Classification JEL : G01, G21, G28. [eng] “Too Big to Fail Effect” : How to Articulate Bank Governance and Regulation ? . This article tries to answer these questions : What were the role and the effects of the governance of banks in the development of the crisis ? What lessons to learn from the systemic crisis to develop a new regulation, and how articulate this new regulation and bank governance ? We advocate a double analysis. The path of expansion of a bank usually results from a balance from conflicting interests between shareholders and depositors ; during the recent crisis, the emergence of the “ too big to fail argument” annihilated the disciplining effect of the “ bank runs”. This lead to an increase in bank risks. The main objectives of the banking regulation are the following : to provide incentives for banks to return to their fundamentals, to restore bankruptcy virtues, and to limit systemic risk. In this respect, several paths are discussed : the limitation of bank size, the creation of special bankruptcy framework for banks, the limitation of securitization and the principle of a regulation contingent to the governance of each bank. . Classification JEL : G01, G21, G28. . .
