Abstract: This paper examines the bank lending channel of monetary policy transmission and the effect of financial market development on the bank lending channel in Thailand using bank-level panel data from the quarterly period of 1992Q1-2011Q4. The empirical results show a significant effect of monetary policy via the bank lending channel of monetary policy in Thailand. This effect of monetary policy is higher especially in bank with larger size as well as bank with lower capitalisation. Financial market development, including the banking sector development and the capital market development, mainly weakens the effect of monetary policy through the bank lending channel in Thailand.
