The purpose of the research article summarized in the following video is to examine monetary policies and bank lending in emerging economies of Sub-Saharan Africa. The findings show that an expansionary monetary policy such as an increase in the money supply stimulates bank loans, while contractionary monetary policies such as an increase in monetary policy rates by central banks lead to a contraction in credit, though with a weak effect due to potential underdevelopment of financial markets, institutional restrictions, banking concentration and other rigidities in the system characteristic of developing countries that undermine the effectiveness of monetary policy transmission.
