Abstract

[fre] La politique de change dans les pays d'Europe centrale. . Le taux de change remplit un double rôle dans une petite économie ouverte. Ses variations peuvent réaliser et sauvegarder la compétitivité internationale et ainsi garantir une balance des paiements viable. Simultanément, un taux de change stable peut ancrer les prix internes. Il est dès lors nécessaire de détermi­ner le poids relatif qui devrait être accordé à chacun de ces objectifs dans la formulation de la politique de change des pays d'Europe centrale en transition. À cette fin, cet article fournit des éléments d'évaluation empirique à la fois sur les effets de la dévaluation pour les variables macro-économiques et les flux commerciaux et sur les conséquences du régime de change en matière de réduction de l'inertie de l'inflation. Il s'intéresse particulièrement au cas de l'ex-Tchécoslovaquie, en introduisant des éléments de comparaison avec l'expérience polonaise sur le rôle du taux de change dans la désinflation. [eng] Exchange rate policy in central european countries. . The exchange rate fulfils a dual role in a small open economy. Ils variations can achieve and main tain international competitiveness so as to ensure a viable balance of payments. At the same time, a stable exchange rate can anchor domestic priees. It is then necessary to determine the relative weight which should be granted to each of these objectives in the making of exchange rate policy in central European countries in transition. To this aim, this paper gives elements of an empirical evaluation both on the effects of a devaluation or macroeconomic variables and trade flows and on the consequences of an exchange rate anchor in terms of the reduction of inflation inertia. We examine the case of the former Czecoslovakia, introducing elements for a comparison with the Polish experience on the role of the exchange rate in disinflation.
