Abstract

Central banks have adopted new unprecedented strategies to fight recent financial crises. In the euro area in 2012, one such tool allowed banks to use a wider set of corporate loans as guarantees when they borrow from the Eurosystem. Two recent studies show that this policy has been critical in fostering banks’ lending to firms during the crisis. Pour lutter contre les récentes crises financières, les banques centrales ont adopté des stratégies inédites. En 2012, elles ont permis aux banques de la zone euro d'utiliser en garantie une gamme élargie de prêts aux entreprises pour emprunter à l'Eurosystème. Selon deux études récentes, cette politique a joué un rôle décisif pour favoriser les prêts bancaires aux entreprises durant la crise.
