Pricing restrictions can concern both deposit-taking and the granting of loans and credit.

Pricing restrictions prevent the bank from using State aid for anti-competitive market conduct.1 The imposition of such restrictions is in line with point 44 of the Restructuring Communication which provides that State aid should not be used to offer terms which cannot be matched by competitors which did not receive State aid.
One of the most striking pricing restrictions is the price leadership ban. This ban clearly restricts the bank in its pricing behaviour, since it prohibits the bank from acting as price leader. There are also other pricing restrictions, such as the commitment to not issue loans with a return of less than x%. In this PhD-study, the pricing restrictions other than the price leadership ban are referred to as ‘other pricing restrictions’.
