Abstract

In the Monthly Business Survey (MBS) carried out at the end of February/beginning of March 2021, business leaders were asked about the organisational costs associated with COVID and their ability to pass them on to their selling prices. These costs may be high for some sectors but their ability to pass them on to prices appears to be generally limited. Ultimately, the direct and indirect impact on the general level of consumer prices should therefore be small, between 0.1 and 0.3 percentage point, but these costs could affect the margins of some companies. Dans l’Enquête Mensuelle de Conjoncture (EMC) réalisée fin février-début mars 2021, les chefs d’entreprise ont été interrogés sur les coûts organisationnels liés à la COVID et leur capacité à les répercuter dans leurs prix de vente. Ces coûts sont parfois élevés pour certains secteurs mais la capacité à les transmettre aux prix serait en général limitée. Au final, les conséquences directes et indirectes sur le niveau général des prix à la consommation seraient donc a priori faibles, entre 0,1 à 0,3 point de pourcentage, mais ces coûts pourraient peser sur les marges de certaines entreprises.
