Abstract

[eng] Financial Structures and The Interest-Rate Channel in Monetary Policy for the Euro Area . by Benoît Mojon . This paper analyses differences in financial structures across euro-area countries and their implications for implementing ECB policy through the interest-rate channel. It focuses on those features of financial structures that may still show differences despite EMU. Firstly, the study examines the pass-through of variations in money-market rates to various bank rates and measures how this pass-through has changed over the last two interest-rate cycles. An econometric analysis suggests that the current asymmetries between countries observed in the response to bank rates should decrease over time with implementation of the single monetary policy, money-market integration and growth of debt securities markets. It is also shown that competition between banks reduces the cyclical asymmetry of bank-rate response. Secondly, recent developments in the balance-sheet structure of households and firms are examined. The paper shows that, at the start of EMU, the income effects of ECB monetary policy were quite homogenous in the four largest euro-area countries, whereas wealth effects would be more noticeable for Italian households owing to the extent of their bond holdings. . [fre] La présente étude analyse les différences de structures financières entre les pays de la zone euro et leurs implications pour la transmission de la politique de la BCE par le canal des taux d’intérêt. Il est centré sur les caractéristiques des structures financières qui peuvent encore présenter des différences en dépit de l’UEM. L’étude examine d’abord la réponse de divers taux bancaires aux variations du taux du marché monétaire et mesure la manière dont cette réponse a évolué au cours des deux derniers cycles de taux d’intérêt. Une analyse économétrique donne à penser que les “ asymétries de pays ” actuelles qu’on observe dans la réponse des taux bancaires devraient diminuer à terme avec la mise en oeuvre de la politique monétaire unique, l’intégration des marchés monétaires et le développement des marchés de titres de créance. Il est également montré que la concurrence entre banques réduit l’“ asymétrie cyclique ” de la réponse des taux bancaires. En second lieu, on examinera les évolutions récentes ayant caractérisé la structure de bilan des ménages et des entreprises. L’étude montre que, au début de l’UEM, les effets-revenu de la politique monétaire de la BCE sont très homogènes dans les quatre grands pays de la zone euro, alors que, par suite de l’importance de leur portefeuille obligataire, les effets de richesse devraient être plus sensibles pour les ménages italiens.
