Abstract

The credibility of a central bank is reflected in the agent’s expectations of the monetary policy interest rate (MPR) and affects the behavior of interest rates in the economy. This document includes these expectations in various models that estimate the pass-through of monetary policy to CD and credit interest rates for the Colombian case. Compared with previous works that only include the observed MPR, the models that incorporate MPR expectations show stronger correlations with CD and credit rates, and faster transmission. It was also found that when analyzing periods of increases and decreases of the MPR, the transmission is asymmetric. However, it was found that the asymmetry in transmission between periods of MPR increases and decreases varies over time. In the short term, transmission tends to be more rapid during phases of MPR decline. Conversely, over longer horizons, transmission appears to be more pronounced during periods of MPR increase. *****RESUMEN: La credibilidad de un banco central se refleja en las expectativas de la tasa de interés de política monetaria (TPM) de los agentes y afecta el comportamiento de las tasas de interés de la economía. En este documento se incluyeron estas expectativas en varios modelos que estiman el traspaso de la política monetaria a las tasas de interés de CDTs y de crédito para el caso colombiano. Frente a trabajos anteriores que sólo incluían la TPM observada, los modelos que incluyen las expectativas de la TPM registran correlaciones más altas con las tasas de CDs y de crédito y menores tiempos de traspaso. También se encontró que, cuando la muestra se divide entre periodos de aumentos y descensos de la TPM, el traspaso es asimétrico. Sin embargo, se encontró que la asimetría en la transmisión entre períodos de aumento y disminución de la TPM varía con el tiempo. En el corto plazo, la transmisión tiende a ser más rápida durante las fases de disminución de la TPM. Por el contrario, a horizontes más largos la transmisión puede ser más acentuada durante periodos de incrementos de la TPM.
