Abstract

The Economic Modernisation Act has reduced payment periods, by capping them, for the most part, at 60 days. Today, average payment times are stable, but late payments continue to weigh on the cash flow of businesses, which seem unwilling to pay their suppliers faster so as not to weaken their solvency. Yet reconciling these two goals is possible. La loi de modernisation de l’économie a réduit les délais de paiement en les plafonnant, pour l’essentiel, à 60 jours. Aujourd’hui, les délais moyens sont stables, mais les retards continuent de peser sur la trésorerie des entreprises qui semblent peu enclines à payer leurs fournisseurs plus vite pour ne pas fragiliser leur solvabilité. Pourtant, concilier ces deux objectifs est possible.
