Abstract

Cet article explore la question de la convergence réelle en termes de compétitivités internationales parmi les membres de la zone euro et de la zone CFA qui repose sur l’euro. L’objectif est d’apprécier l’importance de la perte de l’instrument du taux de change pour les différents pays membres. Un indice synthétique de mesure de la dispersion des soldes des balances courantes est élaboré en vue d’évaluer l’évolution des compétitivités internationales des pays membres des unions monétaires. Les résultats montrent un processus de divergence prononcé des compétitivités internationales dans le cas de la zone euro. Au sein de la zone CFA, les deux composantes, UEMOA et CEMAC, connaissent des évolutions opposées en termes de convergence réelle des compétitivités internationales de leurs membres. Dans un contexte de rigidité des salaires et des prix, la perte de l’instrument du taux de change devient alors une question aiguë.
