The European Central Bank (ECB) said in a survey on Tuesday that the negative deposit rate had a positive impact on lending volumes.

“Regarding the impact of the ECB’s negative deposit facility rate, banks reported a positive impact on lending volumes, specifically for loans to households, but a negative impact on their net interest income and loan margins for the last quarter of 2015 and the first quarter of 2016,” the ECB said.
