We examine the results of adverse rate of interest insurance policies (NIRP) on the transmission of financial coverage by means of cross-border lending. Utilizing bank-level knowledge from worldwide monetary centres (IFCs) – the UK, Hong Kong and Eire – we study how NIRP within the economies the place banks have their headquarters influences cross-border lending from financial-centre associates. We discover that NIRP impairs the bank-lending channel for cross‑border lending to non-bank sectors, particularly for these banks which have solely a weak deposit base in IFCs – and are thus comparatively extra uncovered to NIRP of their headquarters. Utilizing euro-area knowledge, together with bank-level knowledge from France, we discover that NIRP doesn’t affect total cross-border lending from banks’ headquarters’ economies, however NIRP does impair lending to monetary sectors based mostly in IFCs. This impairment is stronger for banks with a big deposit base in headquarter economies uncovered to NIRP.
