Abstract

[fre] Cette étude présente les principaux avantages et inconvénients d'une évaluation des bilans selon le principe de la juste valeur et met en évidence l'impact macroéconomique lié à l'adoption de ces normes par les établissements de crédit. La comptabilisation au coût historique ne fournit certes pas toutes les informations nécessaires à l'appréciation des risques. Toutefois la juste valeur présente des inconvénients majeurs. Ce changement comptable impactera les résultats et les capitaux propres bancaires, mais aussi les ratios prudentiels. Sur le plan macroéconomique, le principe de juste valeur appliqué sans discernement risque de susciter une volatilité des fonds propres et des résultats bancaires qui irait à l'encontre de l'objectif de sécurité recherché par les normalisateurs comptables. Son application serait susceptible d'amplifier les cycles de crédit. Elle pourrait également conduire à un transfert du risque de taux sur les agents non financiers, voire à une réduction du volume des prêts. . Classification JEL : G14, G21, M41 [eng] Macroeconomic impacts of the IAS 39 . This study presents advantages and disadvantages of fair value balance sheet and highlights macroeconomic impacts of IAS standards on credit institutions. Historical cost model doesn't provide all needed information for risk measurement. However, fair value affords major disadvantages. This accounting change will act upon banking income and equity capital, but also prudential ratios. On macroeconomic point of view, implementing fair value without proper judgment risks to increase banking equity capital and income's volatility. Such a consequence isn't the accounting standards board's purpose. The fair value implementation could accentuate credit cycles. It . could also transfer interest rate risks on non financial agents or decrease loan volume. . JEL classifications : G14, G21, M41
