Komercyjne papiery wartościowe na rynku pieniężnym strefy euro. Analiza zmian w latach 2000–2011

The aim of the study is to identify and evaluate the changes, which have taken place in the period of 2000–2011 on the short-term corporate debt securities market, and therefore in this segment of the money market, which mainly contributes to more effective companies’ fundraising and efficient financial capital allocation, supporting the economic growth. The study indicates that short-term commercial securities market, despite implemented institutional initiatives, remains still weakly integrated part of the money market in euro area. The global financial crisis has caused significant differentiation of credit risk on this market, which was reflected in the declining of capitalization of this segment of the money market. The reasons for the low integration in the Eurozone are not directly related to the global financial crisis. They require further overcoming the integration barriers on the institutional and legal plane, differentiating national, short-term corporate debt markets.
