This chapter explores the monetary transmission mechanism (MTM) in low financial development countries (LFDCs). It successively discusses the interest rate, asset price, bank credit, balance sheet, expectations, and real balance channels. For each channel, conceptual aspects about how it operates, how it transmits monetary policy impulses to the economy’s financial and real spheres, are first presented. Next, the impact of the specificities of LFDCs on the channel’s strength and reliability are examined and the available empirical evidence is surveyed. The chapter concludes with a global assessment of the effectiveness of the monetary transmission mechanism in LFDCs. Evidence points to a transmission mechanism that is effective although not very strong, and possibly also more uncertain than in advanced and emerging market countries.


Subject Reasons behind the euro-area growth slowdown. Significance In its Winter 2019 interim forecasts, the European Commission downgraded its expectations for euro-area growth to 1.3% and 1.6% for 2019 and 2020, respectively, from 1.9% and 1.7% three months earlier. At its January meeting, the ECB Governing Council foreshadowed lower growth, shifting its risks assessment, saying that downside risks will dominate. Impacts The European Parliament elections could have a destabilising impact on growth in some countries. Monetary policy can do nothing to cushion the impact of lower growth caused by trade conflict. In case of recession, monetary policy stimulus will be constrained by the large size of the ECB balance sheet.


Subject The impact of persistently low inflation on the pace of monetary policy 'regime change' in most countries. Significance The US Federal Reserve (Fed) published the minutes of its June 14 interest rate-setting meeting on July 5, showing increasing divisions over the pace of tightening as inflation eases. The Fed remains committed to starting to shrink its 4.5-trillion-dollar balance sheet this year, but there are disagreements over the timing of both the unwinding and further rate hikes. Subdued inflation is also constraining the ECB’s plans to withdraw its monetary stimulus, despite speculation about a ‘regime change’ in monetary policy driving the yield on the benchmark 10-year Bund to its highest point since January 2016. Impacts The yield on 10-year US Treasuries has risen since June but remains below its mid-March level when ‘reflation trading’ was in full swing. Emerging market bond funds are vulnerable to tighter policy and suffered outflows for the first time this year in the week ending July 5. The average world oil price has fallen by more than 10% since May to below 50 dollars a barrel amid concerns of a supply glut. The Bank of Canada may raise rates for the first time in nearly seven years on July 12, while the Fed chair will testify before Congress.

The monetary instruments and capital market are closely related as these tools are operating in the money market. The influence of the monetary policy to the stocks and indexes’ performance has been the research interest in the previous literature. The monetary policies along with its’ instruments are transmitted not only in banking lending channel to affect the economic growth but also in the balance sheet channel. However, the conventional tools and policies are not adhering the sharia tenets. Hence, the sharia-compliance monetary system is emanated in Muslim majority countries, including Indonesia. Additionally, this establishment of policy is coupled with the emergence of the Islamic capital market in Indonesia. Thus, the analysis of the impact of either Islamic or conventional monetary system on the Islamic capital market in Indonesia that represented by the Jakarta Islamic Index (JII) is essential to look at its’ furthers effect on financial market growth.This study examines the impact of the Islamic and conventional monetary variables on the performance of the Jakarta Islamic Index in Indonesia. It also investigates the stability of the JII under the occurrence of the shock derived from the monetary instruments. Monthly closing value of the JII, conventional or interest rate, Islamic policy rate, and monetary base are assessed to address the research objectives in this paper. This study employs the VAR-VECM and Granger analysis to analyse the phenomenon. The monetary policy transmission mechanism through the financial market channel is the main channel that will be investigated in this paper. The study comprises of introduction, literature review, methodology, and lastly the discussion and conclusion.

Credit channel(s) of the monetary policy transmission has not been debated much in the literature especially in the context of the European monetary union (EMU) and the apparent rising fragmentation of the previously much integrated European banking system. This discussion is even more important in the aftermath of the global financial crisis (GFC) and the decade-long European debt crisis (EDC), a number of European countries have been experiencing. This paper attempts to investigate the interconnectedness of credit channels in policy transmission in the context of EMU using bank lending survey (BLS) data for a sample of eight European countries. One of the main contributions of this paper is to use BLS data for the entire 11 credit channels. We use principal component analysis (PCA) to investigate the impact of monetary policy on the interconnectedness structure of credit channels. PCA is conducted both for EMU across channels and sample countries. EFA-orthogonal vector rotation indicates a core versus periphery interconnectedness pattern. The results suggest that the household balance sheet channel, borrower cash flow channel and interest rate channel are the most divergent channels in EMU.

We analyze the impact of monetary policy on the supply of bank credit. Monetary policy affects both loan supply and demand, thus making identification a steep challenge. We therefore analyze a novel, supervisory dataset with loan applications from Spain. Accounting for time-varying firm heterogeneity in loan demand, we find that tighter monetary and worse economic conditions substantially reduce loan granting, especially from banks with lower capital or liquidity ratios; responding to applications for the same loan, weak banks are less likely to grant the loan. Finally, firms cannot offset the resultant credit restriction by applying to other banks. (JEL E32, E44, E52, G21, G32)

The study examines the impact of bank's asset and liability structure on their profitability without monetary policy and size; the study utilizes panel data with cross section analysis on data of 10 unit banks according to the annual balance sheet & performance. The populations of the study are bank units listed on Egyptian Exchange (EGX), the study’s data collection covered the duration from 2008 till 2016. Eventually, the study ascertained that there is an impact of the bank's asset and liability structure on their profitability according to "Return on Asset" and "Return on Equity"; however, the interprets of bank's asset and liability structure for "Return on Equity" more that to "Return on Asset". Therefore, the banking units should work to maintain the optimal rate of the structure of the bank's assets and liabilities; this may be a potential research scope in banks.

The macroeconomic policies of a nation have a major bearing on the financial performance of the companies and their potential sustainability and growth. This study investigates the impact of monetary policy on the corporate leverage adjustment through microscopic monetary policy transmission channels, mainly the interest rate and credit channels, using a sample of 422 manufacturing firms in India from 2011 to 2017 by employing partial adjustment model. The findings suggest that contractionary monetary policy cuts down overall corporate debt. The study further asserts that corporate debt in Indian firms demonstrates target behaviour and the speed at which firms adjust their actual debt ratios towards target debt ratios is a function of not only firm-specific characteristics but also macroeconomic conditions prevailing in the country, proxied by monetary policy indicators in our study. The study has critical policy implications as the balance sheet situation of corporates is a crucial factor in the financial stability of the economy.

The goal of this paper is to assess the impact of e-banking, which are distinct from conventional banking systems, on central banks’ monetary policy. E-banking poses a challenge to central banks’ ability to control interest rates and it may also increase endogenous financial instability. The challenge to interest rate control stems from the possibility that e-banking may diminish the financial system’s demand for central bank liability, rendering central banks unable to conduct meaningful open market operations. Increased financial instability could emerge from the increased elasticity of private money production and from the periodic runs out of e-banking into central bank money that generates liquidity crises. Similarly, the future of e-banking is dependent on its growth, regulation and increased technological advancements that would boost the security of the new instrument. It will directly impact the central bank’s control of monetary policy unless it is included in its measurements of monetary aggregates. We therefore recommend that since the impact of e-banking on monetary policy depends solely on how fast it will spread and the extent to which it will substitute for cash, it is vital that Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) considers taking steps to compensate the resulting decrease in its balance sheet. Also, CBN must have to impose special obligations with the money reserve on the e-banking issuer in case of any large increase in e-banking creativity that will affect the monetary policy at the end. The government must keep the rate of prices stable and with this condition, where e-banking will be equal to other forms of money which maintain by apportion percentage as a reserve ratio to the central bank. Similarly, if e-banking spreads moderately, there will be a decrease in the seigniorage income and thus, the decrease in the balance sheet of CBN will be limited. Hence, it must include e-banking in monetary aggregates that the spread of e-banking may lead to a change in the velocity of money. Keywords: monetary policy, e-banking, technology, velocity of money
