Ensuite, il analyse les motifs de cette accumulation de réserves de change, en différenciant les rôles joués par les balances courantes et de capitaux, et en distinguant les déterminants structurels et cycliques de ces comptes. Enfin, les implications de l'analyse pour les architectures financières régionales sont étudiées et quelques conclusions sont présentées. .
