Deposit market concentration and monetary transmission: evidence from the euro area

Retrieved on: 
Domenica, Febbraio 4, 2024

Abstract

Key Points: 
    • Abstract
      I study the transmission of monetary policy to deposit rates in the euro area with a
      focus on asymmetries and the role of banking sector concentration.
    • Moreover, the
      gap between deposit rates across euro area member states - despite being exposed to the same
      key ECB interest rates - has widened.
    • This begs the question whether deposit rates are more
      sluggish in response to both policy rate increases and cuts, and what factors might influence the
      transmission of monetary policy to deposit rates.
    • Whether banks are indeed able to adjust deposit rates asymmetrically to positive and
      negative changes in policy rates could thus well depend on how much market power they hold
      in the deposit market.
    • Arguing that market power increases in the degree of market concentration,
      I further consider whether more concentrated banking sectors set rates (more) asymmetrically.
    • The response of deposit rates in banking sectors with an average degree of concentration does
      not appear asymmetric.
    • The degree of market concentration is often pointed at, but recent evidence
      for the euro area is scarce.
    • In this paper, I provide empirical evidence on the asymmetric response of deposit rates to
      monetary policy, and relate this to the degree of concentration within a country?s banking sector.
    • Both papers
      provide empirical evidence based on US deposit markets showing that deposit rates respond
      more rigidly to upward changes in market rates than downward changes, especially so in more
      concentrated markets.
    • Recent research on euro area deposit markets,
      instead, has focused more on the transmission of negative policy rates (see e.g.
    • Whether banks are able to set deposit rates that materially differ from policy rates is affected

      ECB Working Paper Series No 2896

      4

      by market concentration: market power is assumed to increase in the degree of concentration in
      the banking sector.

    • Concentration thus appears to matter for how quickly ECB monetary policy has
      been transmitted to deposit rates across the euro area.
    • Banks thus have a motive to be
      rigid in adjusting deposit rates to a ?positive? monetary policy shock.
    • While customers are generally (and potentially rationally) inattentive, swift and substantial
      nominal deposit rate declines may trigger deposit outflows.
    • relative deposit rate = deposit rate - short term rate
      The inverse of the wedge, the relative deposit rate will allow us to see more clearly how
      the deposit rate evolves in comparison to the short-term rate.
    • This then translates to (more
      pronounced) effects on the transmission of policy to the deposit wedge, reinforcing the asymmetry discussed before.
    • More concentration would mean more rigid deposit rates (and thus an
      increase in the deposit wedge) in case of positive surprises, and more flexible deposit rates (and
      thus a decrease in the deposit wedge) in case of negative surprises (see also e.g.
    • I add an identical
      altered-linex adjustment cost for deposit rates, to capture the upward rigidity and downward
      flexibility of deposit rates as well.
    • As discussed
      previously, the deposit rate is particularly rigid in case of a positive shock, illustrating the dividend smoothing motive and bank market power.
    • Without the asymmetric adjustment cost,
      the response of the deposit rates to positive and negative changes in policy would have been
      symmetric.
    • This appears a reasonable assumption
      in general, as market concentration or market shares are slow-moving concepts.

      in different countries in the euro area.

    • deposit rate - short-term rate), which for the sake of
      brevity I will refer to as the ?relative deposit rate?.
    • Positive IRFs for the relative deposit rate imply that
      the deposit rate has increased by more than the short-term rate, narrowing the wedge between
      the short-term rate and the deposit rate.
