The paper investigates the mechanism of monetary transmission in Vietnam through different channels - namely the interest rate channel, the exchange rate channel, the asset channel and the credit channel for the period January 1995 - October 2009. This study applies VAR analysis to evaluate the monetary transmission mechanisms to output and price level. To compare the relative importance of different channels for transmitting monetary policy, the paper estimates the impulse response functions and variance decompositions of variables. The empirical results show that the changes in money supply have a significant impact on output rather than price in the short run. The impacts of money supply on price and output are stronger through the exchange rate and credit channels, but however, are weaker through the interest rate channel. The impacts of monetary policy on output and inflation may be erroneous through the equity price channel because of the lack of an established and well-functioning stock market.

Ensuring a high level of monetary regulation of the economy and improving the efficiency of the central bank's monetary policy largely depend on how effective is the mechanisms of transmission of monetary impulses from the decisions of monetary authorities to market participants through the use of monetary transmission. Given that in the current environment, interest rate policy is the main component of the monetary policy of the vast majority of central banks, interest rate channel is important in the process of monetary transmission. This is also due to the fact that in the monetary transmission system, the interest channel is most closely linked to the mechanisms of functioning of monetary, credit and currency channels. Solving this problem requires the identification the role of the interest channel in the mechanism of monetary transmission, the peculiarities of its function in current conditions, revealing clear causal links and the basic principles of the systematic regularity of monetary development. In addition, it is necessary to identify clear criteria and methods for assessing the effectiveness of the channel, as well as systems and indicators, which allow the use of several parameters in the flow of interest to the channel on the basis of monetary and macroeconomic indicators. The conducted research is based on the statistics of the National Bank of Ukraine for 2005-2020, the system of economic-statistical and economic-mathematical methods, as well as on the calculation of indicators, and is characterize the reliability of models. Quantitative assessment of the efficiency and operating conditions of the interest rate channel of the monetary transmission mechanism should be based on the basic principles of monetary theory and a reliable statistical base. This suggests ways to improve the efficiency of the interest rate channel through the central bank's interest rate policy, adequate money market conditions, and prudent government borrowing policies in the domestic market to ensure efficient transmission of monetary impulses from the central bank to the real sector of the economy. The results of the study can be used to substantiate the forecast parameters of monetary indicators of the monetary policy of the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) and the conditions of effective functioning of the interest rate channel of monetary transmission in Ukraine in the medium term.

This paper looks into the role of interest rate in the monetary transmission mechanism in India. It analyses the effect of the changes in the policy rate on the different segments of the financial market in India from the onset of Liquidity Adjustment Facility (LAF), i.e, July 2000 onwards to March 2014. A VAR model comprising of interest rate, output, price and exchange rate is estimated for the same period, to study the effect of changes in the policy rate on the various macroeconomic variables. The policy rate is proxied as the monthly weighted average overnight call money rate i.e., CMR as this is the operating target of the RBI. Both the exercises show that interest rate channel has gained in importance for the Indian economy after the deregulation of interest rates and adoption of the new monetary operating framework.

This study aims to investigate transmission mechanism of dual monetary system from conventional and Islamic policy rates to inflation and output using Granger and VAR methods on monthly Indonesian banking data form January 2003 to December 2009. The result shows that conventional transmission mechanismsfrom conventional policy rate are all linked tooutput and inflation, while Islamic policy rate are not linked to output and inflation.In addition, the interest rate, credit and conventional interbank rate shocks give negative and permanent impacts to inflation and output, while PLS, financing and Islamic interbank PLS, as well as SBIS(Central Bank Shariah Certificate) as Islamic policy rate shocks give positive and permanent impacts to inflation and output. SBI (Central Bank Certificate) as conventional policy givespositive impact to inflation and negative impact to output.Keywords: Monetary transmission mechanism, Interest rate pass through, Conventional Banking, Islamic BankingJEL Classification: E43, E52, G21, G28

The paper employs the VAR model to examine the impact of monetary policy on the economy through interest rate channel (IRC) and levels of transmission before and after the 2008 crisis. The results indicate that in the period before the financial crisis, IRC exists in accordance with macroeconomic theory; however, the crisis period, in which increases in SBV monetary policy rates lead to increased inflation, has proved the existence of the cost channel of monetary transmission in Vietnam.
