Abstract

This study examines the bank lending channel for Hungary based on a simultaneous-equation model consisting of the demand for and supply of bank loans. The three-stage least squares method is applied. This paper finds evidence of a bank lending channel for Hungary. Expansionary monetary policy via a lower interbank rate or open market purchase of government bonds to increase bank reserves/deposits would increase bank loan supply.
