Abstract

[eng] Currency and Finance in West Germany. With a new interest rate policy now taking place in France, a look at West Germany's experience can be interesting, since this kind of regulation has been in use there for decades. The german financial sector is led by big banks which deal on money markets as well as on credit market and within big compagnies, so that german monetary policy can work by acting on bank liquidity only. In using quantitative instruments the Bundesbank has complete control over interest rates, and is able to separate interest rates evolution from monetary policy when necessary. However, as can be seen in the last few years, there are some difficulties, for this kind of policy in handling domestic liquidity when strong capital movements happen. [fre] La mise en place d'une politique de taux d'intérêt en France incite à se pencher sur l'expérience de l'Allemagne fédérale qui pratique ce type de régulation depuis des décennies. Le secteur financier allemand dominé par des banques universelles présentes à la fois sur les marchés financiers, sur le marché du crédit et au sein même des grandes entreprises permet à la politique monétaire allemande de fonctionner en agissant seulement sur la liquidité bancaire. L'utilisation d'instruments quantitatifs permet à la Bundesbank de compléter son action sur les taux d'intérêt et éventuellement de déconnecter l'évolution des taux de l'orientation de la politique monétaire. Cependant la pratique de ces dernières années montre les difficultés de ce type de politique à contrôler la liquidité interne en présence de forts mouvements de capitaux.
