Investigating the impact of financial market volatility on bank lending behavior. MSC

Abstract:
This research aims to investigate the impact of financial market volatility on bank lending behavior. Financial market volatility refers to the fluctuations and instability observed in the prices of financial assets, such as stocks, bonds, and currencies. The study will analyze how these fluctuations affect the lending decisions of banks, including their willingness to extend credit, interest rates charged, and loan terms. By understanding the relationship between financial market volatility and bank lending behavior, policymakers and financial institutions can develop strategies to mitigate the adverse effects of market volatility on the stability and functioning of the banking sector.
