Based on variation of the discount or Lombard rates, the Central Bank may influence credit demand by banks and by the private sector.
Lombard rates have varied from 25 to 200 basis points above the central bank's target policy rate or related money market rates.
We find that, at medium-term and longer horizons, forecasted inflation explains a much greater share of the variance in the Lombard rate than does forecasted money growth (or, for that matter, than do forecasted changes in output, or in the value of the deutsche mark).
