Abstract
The current monetary policy tightening cycle has led to increases in bank deposit rates, albeit to a lesser extent than in the past. In part this reflects the transition from negative interest rates to rates well into positive territory. When interest rates were very low, spreads between deposit and policy rates became compressed or even negative, as banks were reluctant to charge negative rates to their retail depositors. Consequently, some time was needed in the initial phase of the current tightening cycle for spreads to normalise. During that period, policy rate hikes were matched by only minor increases in deposit rates. The current round of monetary policy tightening has had an impact on portfolio allocation by incentivising shifts from overnight deposits to time deposits and bonds. It has also weakened money creation by (i) bringing credit expansion to a halt, (ii) reabsorbing money in circulation as the Eurosystem’s monetary policy portfolio contracts, and (iii) leading banks to repay central bank funding and replace it with long-term bonds. Both portfolio shifts and the contractionary monetary dynamics have resulted in negative growth rates of unprecedented size for M1 and M3.

Abstract
The euro area bank lending survey (BLS) serves as an important tool in the analysis of bank lending conditions in the euro area and across euro area countries, providing otherwise unobservable qualitative information on bank loan demand and supply from/to euro area enterprises and households. Since its introduction in 2003, the BLS has received growing attention and has become of key importance for the analysis and assessment of bank lending conditions in the euro area and at the national level. In particular in the context of the financial crisis, the BLS was used to gather additional information on the impact of the crisis and of the ECB

Abstract
This study examines empirically the information content of the euro area Bank Lending Survey for aggregate credit and output growth. The responses of the lending survey, especially those related to loans to enterprises, are a significant leading indicator for euro area bank credit and real GDP growth. Notwithstanding the short history of the survey, the findings are robust across various specifications, including

Abstract
For central banks, the monitoring of financing conditions plays a pivotal role in assessing the actual transmission of monetary policy impulses to borrowers. This paper presents in detail some of the indicators and data used by the ECB to assess financing conditions in the euro area. It also shows how these indicators have been used to provide a broad assessment of developments in financing conditions in the euro area in recent years. The ECB's analysis of financing conditions is dynamic and seeks to reflect underlying changes in the euro area's financial structure.

Abstract
This occasional paper explains why the bank lending survey was developed by the ECB and describes its main features. It discusses the importance of credit developments for both the economy and the functioning of monetary policy, and further clarifies why the survey was introduced. Furthermore, the paper demonstrates that the value added of implementing a bank lending survey for the euro area lies in particular in the way it provides greater insight into developments in credit standards, non-interest rate credit conditions and terms, the risk perception of banks and the willingness of banks to lend. Credit standards are the internal guidelines or criteria of a bank which reflect the bank
