CONT

Les gouverneurs de banque centrale pourraient donc bientôt reprendre leur rôle traditionnel de boucs émissaires. Un seul exemple suffit à l'illustrer : on a récemment reproché aux banques centrales européennes d'avoir fait baisser les cours de l'or en procédant à des ventes de métal précieux pour essayer, de façon bien peu subtile, de se rapprocher des critères d'endettement prévus par le traité de Maastricht.
