Komparace využívání nástrojů Evropské centrální banky během ekonomických krizí
Harviščák, Erik
The diploma thesis compares the use of monetary policy tools by the European Central Bank during economic crises. Specifically, it compares the response to the economic crisis caused by the 2008 financial market crash and the economic crisis associated with the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020. Since the establishment of the European Central Bank in 1998, these are the two most significant shocks in terms of economic development. The thesis analyzes the development of monetary policy tools used during the crisis based on available literature. Based on these tools, indicators for eurozone countries that reflect the use of monetary policy tools are analyzed and compared. These indicators include key interest rates, interbank interest rates, and interest rates for households and businesses, as well as an indicator of active loans in the eurozone and quantitative easing. Along with these indicators, macroeconomic indicators are analyzed in the thesis, including the development of the price level and prices on stock markets. Above all, indicators of interest rates and quantitative easing confirm the different response of the European Central Bank to the compared crises. During the first crisis, the focus was mainly on increasing interest rates, due the increasing price level. In contrast, during the pandemic, record-high funds were provided through quantitative easing programs to stimulate economic growth.
