The ECB Podcast Summer School #3: the role of banks in fighting inflation

Banks are one of the main channels through which our monetary policy decisions reach the economy. How have they passed on our recent interest rate hikes? Has it been the same for loans as for savings? And what is the impact on people and firms? Our host Katie Ranger and Chief Economist Philip R. Lane unpick these questions in the third and final episode of our Summer School mini-series. The views expressed are those of the speakers and not necessarily those of the European Central Bank.
