Abstract

[fre] L'année 1983 aura été marquée par la généralisation des renégociations de dettes extérieures, qui contraignent les pays débiteurs à une austérité accrue. La reprise des importations américaines pourrait toutefois compenser l'alourdissement des charges d'intérêt pour plusieurs pays d'Amérique Latine. L'impulsion du budget fédéral se trouve en effet amplifiée, dans un premier temps, par un certain relâchement de la politique monétaire.. A un déficit croissant de la balance courante des Etats-Unis correspond un surplus au Japon et en RFA. En se prolongeant, cette situation entraînerait un fléchissement momentané du dollar dans une tendance toujours ferme. Le maintien de politiques monétaires prudentes inciterait par ailleurs les ménages à relever leurs taux d'épargne là où ils ont récemment chuté. . A la suite de ses partenaires, la France est amenée à considérer la lutte contre l'inflation comme un objectif prioritaire en vue de préserver la croissance future. Les moyens employés pour résorber le déficit extérieur ajoutent leurs effets pour réduire le revenu disponible des ménages. La baisse de demande, déjà sensible dans le logement, s'étend à la consommation ce qui laisse attendre une réduction d'activité jusqu'au printemps prochain. Les échanges commerciaux poursuivent leur redressement mais un déficit des paiements courants subsistera. L'investissement pourrait cependant reprendre là où il bénéficie d'un soutien public et où les besoins de modernisation sont les plus pressants. [eng] The rescheduling of external debt, which has marked 1983, has imposed greater restraint on many LDCs, thus reducing their imports. The consequent fall in world demand could be partly offset by the recovery in US imports, the impact of the federal budget being reinforced in the short term by the present easing in monetary policy. The mounting US current deficit is to be set against surpluses in Japan and Germany. Should this trend continue the dollar, by and large strong, will temporarily loose ground. Continuing caution in monetary policy should bring about an increase in personal saving rates in those countries where it has recently dropped sharply. . France has been brought to consider the fight against inflation as a precondition for future growth, as most of its trading partners already had. The measures taken in order to reduce the external deficit lead to a further reduction in personal income. Consumer goods and services are beginning to feel the fall in demand which already affects the housing sector. Production is therefore likely to decline until the spring. The continued improvment in visible trade will be insufficient to bring the current account back into the black. Despite falling demand, investment should pick up in those sectors where modernisation is most essential and public backing is available.
