Abstract

[eng] China : accelerating transformation and creating new challenges . The last decade saw the rapid integration of China into world trade flows as well as a domestic growth funded by a very rapid credit distribution, a pattern that raised many worries when the global financial crisis erupted in September 2008. However, China has avoided the most negative transmission impact from the global crisis and is still exhibiting enviable macroeconomic performances, notwithstanding a growth slowdown and localized micro or industry-specific difficulties. This was achieved thanks to a very strong initial financial position, with massive external surpluses and a sound fiscal position, and a rapid and substantial policy reaction, on both the budget and monetary fronts. The crisis is likely to accelerate the next steps of structural transformation of the Chinese economy along the lines put forward by the Chinese leadership over the past few years, notably for the rebalancing of economic growth, towards domestic demand on one side, and towards non-coastal provinces on the other side. Transformation is also visible in terms of diversification of trade relations and a global expansion strategy for Chinese companies. . Classification JEL : F15, F23, F43, G01, N15. [fre] Le processus d’intégration commerciale de la Chine au cours des dernières années et l’utilisation intensive des crédits bancaires comme mode de développement ont fait craindre une transmission forte et déstabilisante lorsque la crise financière globale a éclaté en septembre 2008. Le pays a cependant évité les effets les plus négatifs de cette crise, nonobstant un net ralentissement de la progression du PIB et des difficultés microéconomiques ou sectorielles plus prégnantes. Ce résultat a été obtenu grâce à une capacité de résistance initiale considérable, tirée des excédents externes précédents et d’une situation fiscale saine, et à une réaction de politique économique rapide et de grande ampleur, budgétaire comme monétaire. Par ailleurs, cette crise globale induit une accélération de transformations structurelles que les autorités chinoises souhaitaient depuis plusieurs années, en termes de rééquilibrage de la croissance, vers la demande intérieure d’une part, vers les provinces non côtières de l’autre, comme en terme de diversification commerciale et d’expansion des entreprises chinoises. .
