Description: 37 pag.
Abstract: The aim of this study is to examine the effects of non-standard monetary policy measures implemented by the Eurosystem on the Spanish banking sector profitability. To do this, a new database is built merging data from the Spanish Banking Industry Statistical Yearbook and from the Spanish Stock Market Commission. Applying different econometric techniques to a panel of 54 Spanish banks that covers the period 2001-2017 and controlling for bank-specific factors and macroeconomic conditions, no discernible impact is found between the Eurosystem's non-standard monetary policy measures (ECB's total assets, excess reserves and the slope of the yield curve) and bank profitability measured as return on assets, pre-tax operating income and interest margins. This result is robust to different specifications and to different groups of banks.
