Abstract

Whereas the market value of listed companies can be observed directly using share prices, the vast majority of foreign direct investment (FDI) is in unlisted companies and can only be estimated based on book value. Valuing FDI at market prices reduces France’s net external borrowing position by EUR 200 billion. Alors que la valeur de marché des entreprises cotées en bourse est accessible grâce aux cours des actions, la très grande majorité des investissements directs étrangers (IDE) sont réalisés dans des entreprises non cotées et ne sont estimés qu’à leur valeur comptable. La valorisation des IDE à leur prix de marché réduit de 200 milliards d’euros la position extérieure nette débitrice de la France.
