Abstract

The impact of domestic public debt on bank credit to the private sector is debated in the economic literature. Some authors argue that the development of a market in government securities leads to a more professional banking sector, and ultimately to more credit for the economy. Conversely, other authors support the lazy banking approach, which is based on the idea that banks may prefer to hold government securities, which are less risky, and reduce credit to the economy. Empirical analysis does not allow us to settle this debate. By studying the case of the Democratic Republic of Congo, our article lends support to a new trend in the literature, which emphasises the heterogeneity of the banking sector.__________________________________________L’impact de la dette publique intérieure sur le crédit bancaire au secteur privé est débattu dans la littérature économique. Certains auteurs avancent que le développement d’un marché des titres publics permet un professionnalisation du secteur bancaire, et à terme un développement du crédit à l’économie. Inversement, d’autres auteurs soutiennent l’approche du lazy banking qui repose sur l’idée que les banques risquent de privilégier la détention de titres publics, moins risqués, et de réduire le crédit à l’économie. Les analyses empiriques ne permettent pas de trancher ce débat. Etudiant le cas de la République Démocratique du Congo, notre article apporte un soutien à un nouveau courant de la littérature qui met l’accent sur l’hétérogénéité du secteur bancaire.
