Abstract

Bank lending rates to firms have fallen sharply since the crisis, notably as a result of monetary policy measures, but they are also more dispersed, which points to a stronger discrimination by banks. Loans with particularly low interest rates represent a significant share of new loans, and they are extended mainly to healthy firms.
