The results indicate that the interest rate and bank lending channels are relatively effective in influencing non-hydrocarbon output and consumer prices, while the exchange rate channel does not appear to play an important role as a monetary transmission mechanism because of the pegged exchange rate regimes. The empirical analysis suggests that policy measures and structural reforms - strengthening financial intermediation and facilitating the development of liquid domestic capital markets - would advance the effectiveness of monetary transmission mechanisms in the GCC countries.IMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;No. 2012/191Transmission mechanism (Monetary policy)Transmission mechanism (Monetary policy)332.152Cevik Serhan1696156Teksoz Katerina1696157MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910826196603321Lost in transmission4188272UNINA
