Global financial crisis fails to boost bank profits through interest rate changes.
The article examines how changes in interbank and retail interest rates in Lithuania are connected. The researchers wanted to see if the global financial crisis affected this relationship. They looked at past data and used statistical tests to analyze the situation from 2004 to 2010. The results show that while lending rates went up and the relationship between interest rates changed, there is no evidence that banks made extra profits due to changes in their interest rate policies.
