Abstract
An error correction framework with non-linear adjustment is used to investigate the presence of asymmetries in the adjustment of deposit and lending rates and to changes in interbank rates. There is evidence of asymmetric adjustment for a number of countries, but there are no asymmetries associated with the market power explanation of interest rate rigidity.
