The main objective of this paper is to evaluate the impact of bank concentration on monetary policy, through the channel of bank loans. The research is focused on the period from September 2003 to December 2019. This channel is the mechanism by which monetary policy intervenes in the banking system using the reference rate. The operation of said channel is through a displacement of the reference interest rate that impacts the profitability of the bond market, resulting in an attractive situation for banks. In this way, it affects the composition of assets, and therefore the supply of bank loans. However, it is possible that frictions in the market, such as bank concentration, may prevent the total functioning of the lending channel, and consequently a decrease in the effectiveness of the monetary authority's policy may be seen. In addition, financial crises have driven concentration in banking, especially in developing countries. In response, monetary policy has been used as a rescue measure. Therefore, studying this relationship is of particular interest at a time of global financial crisis. Since little research has been done on the subject, this paper seeks to fill this gap in the Peruvian academic literature. Likewise, the purpose of this research is to analyze the extent to which the concentration of the Peruvian banking system has direct effects on monetary policy. For the econometric process, an unbalanced dynamic panel for Peruvian banks is used. It is expected that the impact analyzed will be negative and significant. Specifically, it is found that the level of concentration of the banking system weakens the effectiveness of the Peruvian monetary policy. Finally, we present some recommendations and suggestions based on the main findings of this research.
