Abstract
An empirical examination of the Tight Monetary Policy (TMP) effects
on the financing decisions of banks is of significance for an in-depth understanding
of the Credit Channel of Monetary Policy (CCMP). Therefore, this paper aimed at
examining the relative role of Islamic and Conventional Banks (CBs) in transmitting
the effects of monetary tightening in Pakistan. It also examines whether TMP
influences banks’ credit expansion differently across bank size and liquidity position.
The empirical analysis consists of 11 Islamic Banks (IBs) (5 full-fledged IBs and 6
Islamic branches of CBs) and seventeen CBs with an unbalanced annual bank-level
panel dataset covering the period 2005-2016. The results reveal that both types of
banks significantly cut their financing in periods of TMP, confirming the existence
of the credit channel. The results also indicate that TMP affected IBs less than
their conventional peers. The results also provide evidence that large-sized and
more-liquid Islamic as well as CBs respond less to the TMP. The findings suggest
that the MP authorities may take into consideration the type of banking, bank size,
and liquidity position to effectively control credit amounts in the economy.
