Evidence on the bank-lending channel in Ukraine

Abstract: The paper examines evidence for a bank lending channel in Ukraine. We use a panel of bank balance sheet data to estimate the response of bank lending to changes in monetary policy between 1998 and 2003. In particular, we segregate banks according to their asset size, capitalization and liquidity standing to test whether lending responses differ depending on the strength of a bank. The main result is that undercapitalized banks are more affected by a monetary policy change than is an average bank, which is cons… Show more

“…He also confirmed the importance of liquidity and capital in the response of loans to monetary policy shocks. Golodniuk (2006) used panel data and the GMM model and found that the higher the capitalization, the less responsive a bank is to monetary pol icy shocks. Jimborean (2009) used the GMM model and disaggregated data in Central and Eastern Europe countries, over the period from 1998 to 2006.…”

“…Golodniuk (2006) argues that, in Ukraine, the level of bank capitalization is the best measure of its balance sheet strength. We consider Bank Size as an indicator of the bank's capacity to mobilize financial resources.…”

“…Most studies on the euro area economies provide empirical support to the presence of the channel, while the empirical analysis for the US case provides mixed results (Ehrmann et al, 2003;Gambacorta, 2005). In addition, the majority of studies show that small banks do not exhibit more sensitivity to monetary policy shocks than large banks (Peek & Rosengren, 1995;Gambacorta, 2005;Golodniuk, 2006). The empirical implementation should cope with an important problem.…”
