Hence, as long as the deposit rate is bounded, a negative central bank rate fails to bring the economy out of a recession. We further show that if bank pro ts Are negative nominal interest rates expansionary? argue that negative interest rates function like a tax on the banking system and as such will inhibit credit growth - thereby failing to stimulate the economy via the bank-lending channel.
