Recent Changes in Credit Markets and Their Implications for Monetary Policy
The February 2026 bulletin outlines three post‑pandemic credit‑market shifts that have eased financial conditions: bank‑funding cost spreads fell about 70 basis points, variable mortgage‑rate spreads narrowed roughly 65 basis points, and business‑credit supply expanded with non‑bank lenders gaining market share. These changes stem from a higher share of at‑call deposits, tighter wholesale‑funding spreads, intensified lender competition, and technology‑driven mortgage shopping. Collectively they make monetary‑policy transmission less restrictive and suggest a higher neutral interest rate than pre‑pandemic levels. The analysis also assesses the persistence of these trends amid regulatory and liquidity‑framework shifts.
