Abstract

Le consensus qui prévalait sur le rôle des banques centrales s'est fissuré. La poursuite du seul objectif de stabilité des prix est aujourd'hui insuffisante pour assurer la stabilité macroéconomique et financière. Un nouveau paradigme émarge dans lequel les banques centrales doivent à la fois veiller à la stabilité des prix, à la croissance et à la stabilité financière. Les évolutions institutionnelles récentes de la BCE vont dans ce sens puisqu'elle se voit confier la surveillance micro-prudentielle. En outre, la conduite de la politique monétaire dans la zone euro montre que la BCE est aussi restée attentive à l'évolution de la croissance. Mais, si la BCE poursuit de fait un triple mandat, la question de la bonne articulation entre ces différentes missions continue de se poser. La coordination entre les différents acteurs en charge de la politique monétaire, de la régulation financière et de la politique budgétaire est primordiale et fait défaut dans l'architecture actuelle. Par ailleurs, certaines pratiques doivent être clarifiées. La BCE a joué un rôle de prêteur en dernier ressort (des banques et dans une moindre mesure des États) sans que cette fonction ne lui soit précisément attribuée. Enfin, dans ce nouveau schéma, la BCE souffre d'une illégitimité démocratique, renforcée par le rôle croissant qu'elle joue dans la détermination de l'équilibre macroéconomique et financier de la zone euro. Il nous semble important que la BCE soit plus explicite au regard des différents objectifs poursuivis et qu'elle mette en oeuvre les conditions d'une coopération étroite avec les instances budgétaires et de régulation financière. Enfin, nous appelons à la création ex nihilo d'un organe de contrôle de la BCE, chargé de discuter et d'analyser la pertinence des politiques monétaires mises en place par la BCE.
