Abstract: We study the transmission of credit supply shocks to firms by exploiting the unexpected exit of the third-largest lender in the Irish business lending market in 2020 and a unique matched firm-lender dataset that covers both banks and nonbank financial institutions. We find that borrowers of the exiting bank receive less credit along both the extensive and intensive margin in the period after the announcement, highlighting that credit supply is not perfectly substitutable across lenders. However, we show that this negative credit supply shock is partly mitigated by non-bank lenders. Borrowers of the exiting bank are more likely to borrow from non-banks following the shock, with the effects driven by business loan facilities, and stronger among riskier firms.
