### Key stylized findings
- General framing:
  - The paper studies the extent to which changes in monetary policy rates lead to changes in loan and deposit rates for households and firms, i.e., “pass-through”, as an ingredient of monetary policy transmission to output and prices.
- Empirical findings:
  - The pass-through in the post-pandemic hiking cycle has been heterogeneous across countries and types of interest rates.
  - The pass-through has generally been weaker and slower, except for rates of non-financial corporation loans and time deposits in euro area countries.
  - Differences in pass-through over time and across countries for most deposit rates are correlated with financial sector concentration, liquidity, and loan opportunities.
  - The effects of pass-through to outstanding mortgage rates on monetary transmission to prices and output are heterogeneous across countries.
