Abstract
We analyse the impact of standard and non-standard monetary policy on bank profitability. We use 
both proprietary and commercial data on individual euro area bank balance-sheets and market 
prices. Our results show that a monetary policy easing – a decrease in short-term interest rates 
and/or a flattening of the yield curve – is not associated with lower bank profits once we control 
for the endogeneity of the policy measures to expected macroeconomic and financial conditions. 
Accommodative monetary conditions asymmetrically affect the main components of bank 
profitability, with a positive impact on loan loss provisions and non-interest income offsetting the 
negative one on net interest income. A protracted period of low monetary rates has a negative 
effect on profits that, however, only materialises after a long time period and is counterbalanced by 
improved macroeconomic conditions. Monetary policy easing surprises during the low interest rate 
period improve bank stock prices and CDS.
