Abstract

Since the outbreak of the Covid-19 crisis in March 2020, outstanding bank loans to enterprises have surged: between end-February and end-June 2020, they rose by EUR 101 billion. This upswing can be attributed first and foremost to substantial drawing on existing credit lines as of March 2020 by mid-tier enterprises and large corporations. The second largest contributing factor has been the use of the state-guaranteed loan (SGL) scheme, primarily by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Since July 2020, the volume of SGLs appears to have stabilised: between June and July 2020, it increased by “just” EUR 10 billion, after rising by EUR 19 billion between May and June, and by EUR 45 billion between April and May. The introduction of the SGL scheme has prompted a decline in interest rates on loans to enterprises. Depuis le début de la crise de la Covid-19 en mars 2020, les encours de crédits bancaires aux entreprises ont fortement augmenté : + 101 milliards d’euros entre fin février et fin juin 2020. Cette hausse s’explique tout d’abord par un tirage important des entreprises de taille intermédiaire et des grandes entreprises sur leurs lignes de crédit dès le mois de mars 2020, puis, dans un second temps, par un recours au dispositif de prêts garantis par l’État (PGE), majoritairement souscrits par les petites et moyennes entreprises (PME). À partir de juillet 2020, le volume des PGE semble se stabiliser : hausse de « seulement » + 10 milliards d’euros entre juin et juillet, après + 19 milliards entre mai et juin et + 45 milliards entre avril et mai. La mise en place des PGE a donné lieu à une baisse du taux d’intérêt des crédits aux entreprises.
