| Description | The European Central Bank started to stimulate Eur opean economies in 2009 since the countries of the European Union have been facing a low growth and low inflation after both the global financial and s overeign debt crisis. The aim of the paper is to evaluate the effects of very low and negative interest rates on the financial position of manufacturing firms in th e Slovak Republic using the balance sheet channel. The results confirm that fir m-specific determinants affect the capital structure of firms. When assessing the impact of monetary policy on the financial structure in the environment of low i nterest rates, our findings sup- port the existence of the balance sheet channel in the Slovak Republic, which is apparent in short-term structure. |
