Abstract

[fre] En juin, le Parlement français adoptait le nouveau statut des Sociétés de Crédit foncier et celui des Obligations foncières qu'elles pourraient émettre. En octobre, les premières émissions étaient lancées, avec un réel succès. L'année 2000 devrait voir la consolidation de ce marché. . Cet outil de refinancement est important pour les collectivités locales. Pour s'en convaincre, il est utile d'analyser les différents modes de financement des . équipements collectifs et leur évolution probable. Le rôle des banques et la . souplesse des prêts directs devraient rester essentiels. Les obligations foncières présentent le double avantage d'optimiser le refinancement à long terme des banques prêteuses et d'offrir aux investisseurs un instrument sûr et liquide. . Classification JEL : G19 [eng] Obligations foncières : a way to finance local authorities in Europe When american local authorities fund themselves essentially through the bond market, it appears that a similar evolution is not coming in Europe. In Euroland, the premium for liquidity has been an obstacle. Project Finance or Private Finance initiative as it is refered to in the UK helps governments and local authorities to reduce public debt but nonetheless, the need to invest leads to public borrowing. In order to provide cheap sources of funds to local authorities which represent a good risk with limited capital allocation, french banks needed a tool similar to that available on the german market. In spite of some differences, Obligations foncières have been created on the model of Pfandbriefe. Their success will be a contribution to the funding of local authorities. . JEL Classification : G19
