Abstract

We assess the transmission of the Targeted Longer‐Term Refinancing Operations (TLTRO) to the bank credit supply for the Euro area (2014–2017) and for Portugal (2011:02–2018:01), using a panel data setup. In order to estimate a causal effect, we construct an instrumental variable (IV) using the maximum borrowing allowance in the TLTRO. For the Euro area, we find a positive impact of the TLTRO on the amount of credit granted to the real economy, in particular in the less vulnerable countries. For Portugal, using a difference‐in‐differences model, we find that bidding banks set lower interest rates in relation to non‐bidding banks and the difference seems to be larger in 2016 and 2017.
