- Lighting the shadows: central bank policy transmission through banks and non-banks — Bank of England — publications
In brief
Rates and credit markets are directly affected by how efficiently central bank policy transmits to borrowing costs; if non-banks are found to dilute or distort that transmission, it could prompt changes in macro-prudential policy that reshape funding conditions across fixed income, corporate credit and leveraged finance.

I haven't read the full paper, so I'd be careful about drawing firm conclusions from the title and summary alone. The general question is a fair one, though: when lending moves toward non-banks, rate changes can pass through to borrowers by a different route, and the speed and size of that effect may differ from the bank channel. For someone with a longer horizon, I'd be more interested in whether the effect is durable across several cycles than in how it looks in one quarter. Does anyone here know whether the paper measures the lag, or only the direction of the effect?
