Abstract

[fre] Le début du troisième millénaire est marqué par une accélération des concentrations bancaires. Les économies d’échelle semblent être devenues le principal facteur de « motricité industrielle » dans ce secteur. Il est vrai que ces économies jouent pleinement dans certains métiers bancaires. Certains facteurs d’environnement accentuent aussi les pressions en faveur de la concentration : la mondialisation, l’augmentation de la taille des clients et la « nouvelle économie ». Toutefois, ce processus n’est pas irréversible et les obstacles sont nombreux sur la voie de la concentration bancaire. En particulier, les bienfaits de ce mouvement ne doivent pas s’analyser au niveau de l’entreprise, mais bien au niveau de chaque métier. Ainsi, des entités de petites tailles peuvent, sous certaines conditions, survivre, voire se développer. . Classification JEL : G21 [eng] Banking industry : Davids’ hopes facing Goliaths . At the beginning of the third millennium banking integration is more and more frequent. Economies of scale seem to be the unique factor of « industrial motivity » in this sector. They play an important role in some banking businesses. But surroundings stress integration : globalisation, increase of customers’ size and the « new economy ». However, this process isn’t irreversible and banking concentration faces obstacles. This evolution must be analysed concerning each business and not each firm. So small firm can survive or expand. .
