Monetary Conditions and Banks’ Behaviour in the Czech Republic
Geršl, Adam ; Jakubík, Petr ; Kowalczyk, Dorota ; Ongena, Steven ; Alcalde, José-Luis Peydró
This paper examines the impact of monetary conditions on the risk-taking behaviour of banks in the Czech Republic by analysing the comprehensive credit register of the Czech National Bank.

While seeking to assess the association between banks’ appetite for risk and the short-term interest rate we answer a set of questions related to the difference between higher liquidity versus credit risk and the effect of the policy rate conditioned on bank and borrower characteristics.
