Abstract

At the end of 2023, non-residents held EUR 1,093 billion of shares in French CAC 40 companies, representing 49.5% of a total stock market capitalisation of EUR 2,207 billion. The rate of non-resident ownership was similar to that observed in the three previous years. Non-residents were slight net sellers of French CAC 40 shares in 2023, reducing their overall holdings by EUR 1.6 billion. The share sales mainly concerned firms with activities in finance, real estate and consumer goods and services. Non-resident shareholders were primarily located in the euro area (39.5%) and the United States (36.6%), with the proportion of US shareholders increasing steadily since 2020. The calculation of equity holdings was significantly revised in 2024 due to the coordinated benchmark revision of national accounts. This has had a major impact on the historical data presented in this article. Fin 2023, les non résidents détenaient 1 093 milliards d’euros d’actions des sociétés françaises du CAC 40, sur une capitalisation boursière totale de 2 207 milliards d’euros, soit un taux de détention de 49,5 %. Cette part est proche de celle des trois années précédentes. Les non résidents ont été faiblement vendeurs nets d’actions des sociétés françaises du CAC 40 en 2023 (– 1,6 milliard d’euros). Ces ventes ont concerné essentiellement les sociétés ayant des activités dans la finance et l’immobilier ainsi que dans la distribution de biens de consommation. Les détenteurs non résidents provenaient principalement de la zone euro (39,5 %) et des États Unis (36,6 %), le poids de ce dernier pays s’accroissant depuis 2020. Des révisions importantes ont été réalisées en 2024 sur le calcul des détentions d’actions en raison du changement de base. Elles ont eu un impact significatif sur l’historique des données présentées.
