This study employs panel data techniques to measure the relevance of micro and macro factors in determining commercial banks’ interest rate spreads over the period 1993-2003. The results indicate that the observed spreads can be attributed to the high level of market concentration, high operating costs and non- performing loans and the central bank’s regulated savings deposit rate.

This paper empirically tests this theory by investigating the sensitivity of interest rates in the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union (ECCU) to changes in the US rates. The empirical results show long –run convergence between the two rates, indicating that interest rate parity holds for all countries in the ECCU.
