La politique économique et financière de la France dans les Balkans pendant les années trente

Abstract

France tried in the thirties to apply an orthodox monetary, economic
and fiscal policy, which reduced the purchasing power of its inhabitants. Thus,
French imports diminished and so the possibility of foreign debtors paying
their debts was substantially curtailed. The same policy was applied towards
the Balkan States by the other Great Powers except Germany, which thus
secured many advantages, at first in trade and afterwards also in politics.
