Abstract

The US dollar is widely used in global trade to facilitate international transactions. In France, nearly 60% of France’s non-EU imports are invoiced in US dollars every year. Thus, taking account of US dollar invoicing in international transactions can lead to a change in the estimation of exchange rate pass-through to import prices. In particular, the depreciation of the nominal effective exchange rate (NEER) since January 2021 is greater when it is calculated using the weight of invoicing currencies rather than the weight of bilateral trade. In this episode in which the euro has depreciated more against the US dollar than against other currencies, conventional measures of the NEER based on weighting by bilateral trade flows tend to underestimate the pass-through of the exchange rate shock to import prices Le dollar américain est largement utilisé dans le commerce mondial pour faciliter les transactions internationales. En France, près de 60 % des importations françaises extracommunautaires sont facturées en dollars US chaque année. Ainsi, la prise en compte de la facturation en dollars US dans les transactions internationales peut conduire à modifier l’évaluation de la transmission des mouvements du taux de change aux prix des importations. En particulier, la dépréciation du taux de change effectif nominal (TCEN) depuis janvier 2021 est plus forte lorsque celui-ci est calculé en utilisant le poids des monnaies de facturation plutôt que le poids des échanges bilatéraux. Dans cet épisode où l’euro se déprécie davantage vis-à-vis du dollar US que des autres monnaies, les mesures conventionnelles du TCEN fondées sur les pondérations par les flux commerciaux bilatéraux ont tendance à sous-estimer la transmission du choc de taux de change aux prix à l’importation.
