Negative Interest Rates:
Effectiveness and Side Effects – Taking Stock
With
Gaston Gelos, IMF, Florian Heider, ECB and Jesper Berg, Danish Financial Stability Authority. Moderated by
Jakob de Haan, SUERF President
About the webinar:
Over past years, several central banks around the world have lowered policy rates below zero. Also, bond yields have entered negative territory as a result of central banks’ asset
purchase programmes. How effective has negative interest rate policy been in stimulating aggregate demand and in bringing inflation up back to target? What were the effects on banks’ profitability and on the monetary transmission mechanism? What other side
effects emerged?
