Summary of IMF Working Paper "What Policy Combinations Worked?"

This paper analyzes the impact of fiscal, monetary, and prudential policy packages on bank lending during the COVID-19 pandemic, using data from 49 countries.

Key Findings:

• Effectiveness of Policy Combinations: Bank lending grew faster in countries that adopted packages integrating all three policy types (fiscal, monetary, prudential) compared to those using only some of the measures.
• Intensity Matters: Within combined packages, those with more and larger policy measures (in size and count) led to higher loan growth.
• Bank Heterogeneity: The positive impact was stronger for banks with low equity levels, as they faced binding lending constraints.
• Firm-Level Effects: Such packages increased liquidity for bank-dependent firms, supporting their ability to meet expenses during the pandemic, without disproportionately benefiting low-quality firms.

Implications:

The results underscore the importance of comprehensive and intensive policy actions, such as broad packages, in crisis response, though such approaches may have unintended consequences like inflation or debt sustainability issues.
