Először röviden áttekinti az állami szerepvállalás franciaországi hagyományait, illetve azt, hogy ez a funkció hogyan illeszkedik az általános gazdaságpolitikai eszközrendszerbe. A következő fejezetben bemutatja a XX. század nagy államosítási hullámait és a vállalatok kimentésének 1970- es/1980-as évekbeli technikáját. A következő nagy téma a neoliberális fordulat jegyében beköszöntő (re)privatizációs kurzus, amikor több olyan cég is magánkézbe került, amit még a második világháború végén/után államosítottak. Végül a tanulmány a válság és a válság körüli évek gazdaságpolitikáját (pl. bankmentést) próbálja meg érthetőbbé tenni, illetve az állam modernkori gazdasági szerepvállalását, a vagyonkezelési funkciót szemléltetni.

  • Les Résultats Des Grandes Banques Internationales En 2005 Et Au Premier Semestre 2006
    Les résultats des grandes banques internationales en 2005 et au premier semestre 2006 Corinne DAUCHY, Catherine GOUTEROUX Secrétariat général de la Commission bancaire Service des Études bancaires En 2005, le maintien de la croissance économique mondiale à un niveau élevé a eu un impact positif sur les résultats des principaux groupes bancaires des grands pays industriels. La progression des revenus, d’intérêts comme de commissions, et la bonne maîtrise des coûts d’exploitation se sont traduites par des résultats brut d’exploitation en forte hausse. Parallèlement, le coût du risque de crédit s’est inscrit en baisse dans la plupart des pays. Une légère dégradation a toutefois touché les pays anglo-saxons, dans le domaine du crédit aux particuliers, en relation notamment avec le contexte de resserrement monétaire en cours dans ces pays. Au fi nal, le résultat net de l’ensemble des groupes bancaires de l’échantillon s’est accru de 43 %. Leur niveau de rentabilité s’est encore amélioré par rapport à 2004. Dans ce contexte économique dynamique, les opérations transfrontalières en Europe se sont accélérées et les stratégies d’acquisitions ciblées sur des marchés porteurs ont continué à se développer (cf. annexe 1). Les groupes français ont été particulièrement actifs depuis le début de l’année 2006 avec un montant moyen d’acquisitions de 13 milliards d’euros (hors la transaction récemment annoncée du Crédit agricole avec Banca Intesa), soit plus de 50 % des montants investis entre 1999 et juillet 2006. Au premier semestre 2006, la tendance sous-jacente à la bonne tenue des résultats de 2005 demeure, même si, à l’horizon 2007, les perspectives pourraient être moins favorables.

Link to published https://doi.org/10.1080/01436597.2019.1585183 version Full metadata for this item is available in St Andrews Research Repository at: https://research-repository.st-andrews.ac.uk/ FRANCE À FRIC: THE CFA ZONE IN AFRICA AND NEOCOLONIALISM Over fifty years after 1960’s “Year of Africa,” most of Francophone Africa continues to be embedded in a set of associations that fit very well with Kwame Nkrumah’s description of neocolonialism, where postcolonial states are de jure independent but in reality constrained through their economic systems so that policy is directed from outside. This article scrutinizes the functioning of the CFA, considering the role the currency has in persistent underdevelopment in most of Francophone Africa. In doing so, the article identifies the CFA as the most blatant example of functioning neocolonialism in Africa today and a critical device that promotes dependency in large parts of the continent. Mainstream analyses of the technical aspects of the CFA have generally focused on the exchange rate and other related matters. However, while important, the real importance of the CFA franc should not be seen as purely economic, but also political.

  • The History of Banks in France
    The history of banks in France Alain Plessis Some forms of progress long hindered In the Middle Ages and at the beginning of modern times, banking activities in France experienced a belated and more difficult development than in neighbouring countries such as Italy, the Netherlands or the United Provinces. The overwhelmingly precarious agriculture and a very limited participation on the international exchange scene, the dominant influence of the catholic church as well as the priests' sermons, long denouncing the practice of loaning at interest, and a very hostile mentality towards anything that resembled usury rendered all big merchants suspect and hindered the free development of their activities. Nevertheless the expansion of trade - which first began in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries through the activities of the fairs in Champagne and then through the dynamism of the commercial markets such as the large royal ports or the city of Lyons - as well as the financial needs of the royal government, all made the use of banking practices more and more indispensable. Banking methods, generally invented in Italy, arrived in France: manual exchange transactions and the use of bills of exchange for transferring funds, as well as the credit operations which developed in connection with those operations, deposits, credit transfers and various investment. The bankers in these professions, who sometimes grew quite rich, were primarily foreigners who lived cut off from the national community, especially Italians and Jews. These Italians were called Lombards; in Paris, already a banking city, the moneychangers from Piedmont set themselves up in a street which has since then been called rue des Lombards.

  • Citigroup in Cameroon
    Citigroup in Cameroon: Capturing Growth Opportunities in a Regional Economic Powerhouse A Capstone Project Prepared with the assistance of Professor Richard Linowes from the Kogod School of Business at American University by Brice Ngameni Spring 2012 in fulfillment of the requirements for American University's University honors designation Abstract: This examination of socio-economic trends and realities in Cameroon sheds light on the tremendous growth potential that the economic powerhouse of the Central African region presents to Citibank in a variety of sectors ranging from mobile banking, remittance transfer services, to project finance. In the wake of the financial crisis which almost brought to its knees the 200 year-old financial institution, Citibank has engaged in profound soul-searching, seeking to define a strategy in line with its core competitive advantage. This competitive advantage lies primarily in the unmatched global reach of its branch network and wide array of proprietary applications. To leverage these assets requires a somewhat bolder approach towards banking opportunities in Africa in general, and Cameroon in particular. This paper prescribes a number of actionable recommendations to position Citibank as major player in the relatively unchartered banking landscape of Cameroon.
