Abstract

À l'heure où les perspectives de commerce mondial demeurent orientées à la baisse, la demande intérieure britannique peine à rester dynamique : la consommation des ménages s'est essoufflée en fin d'année tandis que l'investissement chute de 0,2 % en 2018. Cette dernière baisse est à imputer en quasi-totalité à l'investissement des entreprises non financières (55% de la FBCF en volume) qui a baissé consécutivement durant les quatre trimestres de l'année (graphique 1) : atteignant -2,6 % en 2018. L'investissement peut être expliqué par un modèle à correction d'erreur. Celui utilisé à l'OFCE pour les prévisions de l'investissement des entreprises non financières au Royaume-Uni bénéficie d'un ajustement pouvant être considéré comme « correct » au regard de son pouvoir explicatif (le coefficient de détermination est de 85%) sur la période pré-referendum (1987T2 – 2016T2). Si nous simulons la trajectoire de l'investissement après le référendum de 2016 (en bleu clair), on remarque que celle-ci dévie des données d'investissement reportées par l'ONS (bleu foncé) de façon systématique. Ce résultat est conforme à ceux que l'on peut trouver dans la littérature récente montrant également que les modèles tendent systématiquement à surévaluer le taux d'investissement des entreprises britanniques depuis 2016. De 0,5 point de PIB en 2017, l'écart n'a cessé de progresser en 2018 pour atteindre un peu plus d'un point de PIB au dernier trimestre.
