Abstract

The objective of this study is the analysis of the Polish financial market’s responses to interest rates changes announced by the Narodowy Bank Polski (NBP) during the period when they evolved from high to low levels. We use GARCH models and we focus comprehensively on four market segments, i.e.: foreign exchange market, stock market, bonds market and derivatives market. The sample period covers over 17 years from August 2000 until December 2017. Reactions of the financial market in Poland were measured with respect to the nominal changes in interest rates and to their surprise changes (relative to market expectations). The main conclusion from our study is that in all the investigated market segments the Polish financial market became consistently less responsive to interest rates decisions in the lower interest rates environment. Furthermore, stronger reactions in foreign exchange market and in stock market were detected in case of interest rates changing upwards rather than downwards, however in bonds market this effect was opposite. When interest rates were announced at different level than expected, the picture is ambiguous. Moreover, the effects in the conditional variance of the GARCH models indicate the existence of stabilizing effects of the NBP communication on the stock market in Poland, but the estimation results for other market segments are mixed.
