Abstract

The increase in the money holdings by the non-financial sector in the euro area and the United States during the pandemic is explained by the strong increase in financial savings linked to public transfers and the sustained growth of loans, and in particular (in the euro area), government-guaranteed loans. Portfolio shifts strengthened the monetary dynamics in the United States, while they dampened them in the euro area. L’augmentation de la détention d’actifs monétaires par le secteur non-financier dans la zone euro et aux États-Unis pendant la pandémie s’explique par la forte progression de l’épargne financière liée aux transferts publics et à la croissance soutenue des prêts, et notamment, en zone euro, des prêts garantis par l’État. Les arbitrages de portefeuille ont renforcé la dynamique monétaire aux États-Unis alors qu’ils l’ont atténuée en zone euro.
