14 COMMENTARY ON MONETARY DEVELOPMENTS STATISTICS 1) (TABLES 3-9): AUGUST 2018 The evolution of the annual rate of growth of M3 was characterised by fluctuations around 9.5% in the first eight months of 2016. The last four months of 2016 saw a decline from 8.7% in September to 6.7% in December. An upward trend continued from January 2017 to August 2017, when the annual growth rate reached 13.1%. The annual growth rate was gradually decreasing in the following months, standing at 5.8% in April 2018. It has been fluctuating around 6% in the last four months, reaching 5.7% in August. As a result of financial transactions, M3 rose by CZK 37.3 billion month on month (and by CZK 241.7 billion year on year), reaching CZK 4,473.2 billion. Main components of M3 The increase in the annual growth rate of M3 from 5.6% in July to 5.7% in August was due to growth in the contributions of overnight deposits and short-term marketable instruments (both up by 0.1 percentage point) and a drop in the contribution of other short-term deposits (down by 0.1 percentage point). (Table 7) The rise in the annual growth rate of overnight deposits from 4.9% in July to 5.0% in August was reflected in an increase in the annual growth rate of M1 from 4.8% to 5.0%. Overnight deposits increased by 0.6% (or CZK 21.0 billion) month on month, due to financial transactions. Within overnight deposits, the largest increase was recorded for deposits of insurance corporations and pension funds (up by 6.4%, or CZK 1.0 billion). Increases were also recorded for deposits of other financial intermediaries (up by 4.5%, or CZK 4.0 billion), non-financial corporations (up by 1.5%, or CZK 13.7 billion) and households (up by 0.6%, or CZK 12.9 billion). By contrast, deposits of other government decreased (by 4.3%, or CZK 10.7 billion). Currency in circulation increased by 0.4% month on month, amounting to CZK 556.1 billion (CZK 554.1 billion in July). Other short-term deposits (excluding overnight deposits) rose by 2.3% (CZK 9.4 billion) month on month, due to financial transactions. The annual rate of growth of these deposits fell to 4.4% (5.3% in July). The annual rate of growth of deposits with agreed maturity of up to two years decreased by 3.9 percentage points compared to the previous month, reaching 14.7%. The annual growth rate of deposits redeemable at notice of up to 3 months rose to -5.3% (-6.2% in July). As regards other short-term deposits, the largest increase was recorded for deposits of insurance corporations and pension funds (up by 43.4%, or CZK 10.6 billion). Deposits of households also increased (by 1.0%, or CZK 2.4 billion). By contrast, decreases were recorded for deposits of non-financial corporations (down by 4.1%, or CZK 3.0 billion), other government (down by 1.8%, or CZK 0.5 billion) and other financial intermediaries (down by 0.2%, or CZK 0.1 billion). Marketable instruments, which consist of repos, money market fund shares/units and debt securities with maturities of up to two years, increased by CZK 4.9 billion month on month due to financial transactions, to CZK 149.8 billion. Main counterparts of M3 The annual rate of growth of loans to the private sector, which are the most important counterpart of M3, stood at 6.5% in August 2018, down by 0.2 percentage point compared to the previous month. The annual growth rate of loans to non-financial corporations, a major component of this indicator, was irregularly volatile with a downward trend from the start of 2016. Following a decline from 6.2% in February to 2.6% in May 2018, the last months saw an increase and the annual rate is just below 5% (4.9% in July and 4.8% in August). The annual growth rate of loans to households, another major component, grew gradually from January 2015 (4.7%) to June 2017 (8.9%). The annual growth rate of loans to households started to decrease slightly in July 2017; it was flat at 8.3% from October 2017 to February 2018 and was declining again slightly in the following months. It has been flat at 7.8% in the last three months. The annual rate of growth of loans provided to general government and purchased securities fell from 18.9% in July to 17.0% in August. The annual growth rate of net external assets declined to -4.9% at the end of August (from -3.7% in July). The annual growth rate of longer-term financial liabilities increased to 3.0% in August (from 1.1% in July). The annual growth rate of deposits of central government fell to -17.4% in August (from -3.3% in July). 1) All increases and decreases referred to in this commentary relate only to financial transactions adjusted for non transaction effects.

19 COST-OF-BORROWING INDICATORS The has been publishing fully harmonised MIR statistics in accordance with Regulation ECB/2013/14 since January 2004. These statistics are used in the CNB's economic and monetary analyses and are reported to the ECB on a monthly basis. Over time, it has been found that in order to estimate the effectiveness of monetary policy pass-through across euro area and EU countries, it is necessary to use an accurate and comparable measure of the borrowing costs for non-financial corporations and households in those countries, in addition to the standard MIR indicators. For this reason, the euro area countries started to publish cost-of-borrowing indicators (CBI) in 2013. The CBIs were created to assess the effectiveness of monetary policy pass-through and economic forecasts and to compare economic conditions across the euro area countries. The Czech Republic voluntarily signed up to the publication of CBIs in June 2014. The motive for implementing the CBIs was that aggregate indicators cannot be easily compiled for MIR statistics in some cases due to inhomogeneity in the definitions of the underlying instruments. For example, overdrafts 1 are recorded in the monthly statistics on new loan contracts ( new business ), but they have a higher periodicity and different characteristics. They cannot be left out if this segment is to be fully covered. Because of the difference in definitions, however, interest rates could previously be monitored only separately for individual instruments, not in aggregate form. The CBI calculation algorithm eliminates this shortcoming for certain instruments. Four basic categories of underlying instruments were used to calculate the CBIs: interest rates on loans provided by banks to non-financial corporations and interest rates on loans provided by banks to households for house purchase. The MIR source statistics were used in two ways to construct the CBIs. Interest rates on long-term loans provided by banks to non-financial corporations and interest rates on short-term and long-term loans provided by banks to households for house purchase were obtained directly from the MIR statistics. In the case of interest rates on long-term loans provided by banks to non-financial corporations, two additional calculations had to be performed to make this aggregate indicator applicable. This involved accounting for the importance of overdrafts an important source of financing for firms and computing an estimate of the share of long-term loans with original and residual maturity of over one year and interest rate reset in the next twelve months, as these long-term loans are akin to short-term loans. There are eight indicators: four basic ones and four derived ones. The basic indicators provide an assessment of the costs of borrowing broken down into short-term and long-term loans to households and non-profit organisations serving household for house purchase and to non-financial corporations. These four basic CBIs are used to compile the derived CBIs short-term CBIs, long-term CBIs, CBIs for non-financial corporations as a whole and CBIs for households and non-profit institutions serving households as a whole. The CBIs cover CZK-denominated loans. The CBIs are compiled on the basis of the existing MFI interest rate (MIR) and balance sheet statistics. The CBIs for households and non-profit institutions serving households (HH) are calculated using loans for house purchase (new business). Consumer credit and other loans are not included as their interest rates are too volatile across countries and thus not relevant for macroeconomic projections. 1 Overdrafts are debit balances on current accounts, revolving loans and card credit.

21 Recent developments in derived cost-of-borrowing indicators in the Czech Republic and Cyprus Two derived cost-of-borrowing indicators (CBIs) were higher for Czech loans than for Cypriot loans in July 2018. No CBI in the Czech Republic or Cyprus saw a month-on-month decrease in July. In year-on-year terms, all Czech derived CBIs saw an increase, whereas the exact opposite was true in Cyprus. The Cypriot CBI for households was the lowest in July. The Cypriot CBI for non-financial corporations was the highest. Compared to June, the cost of borrowing of Czech households rose marginally by 0.02 percentage point. An increase of 0.15 percentage point was recorded in Cyprus. In July, this CBI reached 2.64% in the Czech Republic and 2.46% in Cyprus. The differential between this CBI in the Czech Republic and Cyprus was 0.18 percentage point. In year-on-year terms, an increase of 0.30 percentage point was recorded in the Czech Republic, whereas a decrease of 0.32 percentage point was recorded in Cyprus. The borrowing costs of non-financial corporations in the Czech Republic saw a month-on-month increase of 0.39 percentage point to 2.87%. This CBI was 3.69% in Cyprus, i.e. 0.82 percentage point higher than in the Czech Republic. This was the largest differential among the monitored Czech and Cypriot CBIs. Loans to non-financial corporations in Cyprus are thus more costly than in the Czech Republic. The Cypriot CBI picked up by 0.34 percentage point month on month. The year-on-year change in this indicator was 0.83 percentage point in the Czech Republic and -0.25 percentage point in Cyprus. The total short-term cost of borrowing, which comprises both households and non-financial corporations, recorded a month-on-month increase of 0.39 percentage point to 2.88% in the Czech Republic. In Cyprus, this indicator was 0.54 percentage point higher. It thus stood at 3.42% in Cyprus. The month-on-month increase in this Cypriot CBI was 0.28 percentage point. In year-on-year terms, an increase of 0.86 percentage point was recorded in the Czech Republic, whereas a decrease of 0.31 percentage point was recorded in Cyprus. The year-on-year change in this Czech CBI was the largest among all the Czech and Cypriot CBIs. The long-term cost of borrowing (comprising both households and non-financial corporations) rose to 2.66% in July in the Czech Republic. In Cyprus, this CBI was unchanged month on month at 2.64%. The Czech CBI rose by 0.34 percentage point year on year, the second lowest year-on-year change among the monitored Czech CBIs.
