Zusammenfassung Für kleine und mittlere Unternehmen (KMU) zählt die Kreditfinanzierung durch Banken traditionell zu den wichtigsten Finanzierungsquellen. Regulierungsnormen, die sich unmittelbar auf das Aktivgeschäft der Banken richten, können deren Kreditvergabeverhalten verändern und in der Folge mittelbar wirksam für KMU werden. Ausgehend vom neuen Rahmenkonzept des Baseler Ausschusses stellt sich die Frage, inwieweit dieses die Attraktivität des mittelständischen Kreditgeschäfts aus Bankensicht und mithin die Finanzierungsmöglichkeiten für KMU verändert. Abstract Traditionally, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to a large extent rely on bank lending. Regulation directed at investment policies of banks in general and their lending policies in particular will affect banks’ lending behavior and thus become relevant for SMEs. Referring to the recent regulatory framework of the Basel Committee, the question is in how far it will amend the attractiveness of SME loan business for the bank and hereupon the financing options of the former.

Central bank policy operates first through financial markets and then through banks as they adjust their interest rates. This chapter discusses the transmission of policy in this first step of the monetary transmission mechanism, known as interest-rate pass-through. Historically, the focus of attention has been the interest-rate channel. We show the origins of this channel via a microfounded model of interest-rate setting by deposit-taking institutions that are Cournot oligopolists facing adjustment costs. We then examine other channels such as the bank lending channel and the bank capital channel and the role of central bank communications, signaling, and forward guidance over future interest rates. Each is shown to influence the setting of current short-term interest rates. The chapter closes with some issues for the future of pass-through in the transmission process.
