Abstract

[fre] Il est soutenu dans cet article que l'effectivité de la dévaluation, contrairement à ce que laisse penser l'évolution des taux de change effectifs réels, a été plus forte au Cameroun qu'en Côte-d'Ivoire. Cette conclusion repose sur la prise en compte de l'évolution des salaires, des prix internationaux, du cours du change des pays voisins, de la politique fiscale-douanière et de l'importance du commerce extérieur informel. [eng] This article argues that the effectiveness of the CFA francs devaluation was greater in Cameroon than in Cote d'Ivoire unlike the opinion which is generaly drawn from the evolution of the real effective exchange rates. This conclusion is based on the change of wages, international prices, neighborough's exchange rates, internal and external taxes and on the size of informal trade.
