Abstract

The article is aimed at the analysis of the impact of the post-crisis interventions made by the European Central Bank in the years 2010–2016. The analysis refers to the aid programmes actually implemented in favour of banks and governments of the indebted EU countries as well as the information policy concerning the programmes announced but not implemented so far. On the basis of the quotation of domestic credit risk swaps (CDS) and the credit action dynamics the impact of the analysed aid programmes on the real sphere of the economy was assessed. The observations indicate that interventions were effective as after they were introduced, the events that the Bank wanted to prevent did not take place. At the same time, no negative effects of the discussed programmes were explicitly confirmed. A relatively high effectiveness of the information policy of Central Bank was observed in comparison with expensive intervention programmes. Thus, it was found that the EBC activities within the discussed scope brought the intended effects and may be regarded effective.
