Foreign Banks and the Bank Lending Channel
journal contribution
posted on 2021-01-19, 09:51 authored by Piotr Denderski, Wojtek PaczosWe provide new evidence on bank ownership and the transmission of monetary policy using bank-level data on 453 banks in Central and Eastern European economies between 1998 and 2012. Only domestic banks adjust loans to changes in monetary policy, while foreign banks do not. Conventional wisdom says that this is because foreign banks can rely on parent banks’ funding to insulate against monetary policy shocks. In this paper we document an alternative explanation. Deposits in foreign banks do not react to monetary policy, hence the bank lending channel is only triggered in domestic banks.
