Ph.D. thesis
Defended on 13th of October 2014
Thesis title:
Lending to the Bulgarian non-financial sector
Summary:
Reviewing and analyzing the literature on the subject of bank lending back to its roots in the previous centuries and forth to its recent advances and making a critical assessment of contemporary empirical literature on the subject makes possible performing an empirical evaluation of the functions of bank loans’ demand and supply in the case of Bulgaria for the period 2000-2012. After a thorough descriptive analysis an econometric assessment is performed using the standard economic time series techniques within the framework of the two-step Engle and Granger (1987) procedure and Johansen (1988) approach for structuring dynamic error correction models. The analysis is augmented with the descriptive and econometric analysis for non-euro area CEE member states. The main thesis defended is that the demand for loans in the long run depends mainly on the economic activity, capital inflows, deposits and loans to deposits ratio of the non-financial sector. In the short term these determinants are complemented by imports. The supply of loans, however, in all time frames is influenced primarily by changes in banks’ liquidity, net interest income, capital adequacy and the producer prices dynamics, but only in the long term consumer prices and foreign ownership are added to these determinants. The main thesis can be extended to the hypothesis that credit developments in Bulgaria in the period of rapid economic and credit growth is determined both by factors of supply and demand for credit, while in the period after the last economic crisis it is explained mainly by loan demand factors.
