The article provides a comprehensive analysis of the functioning of the credit channel of the monetary transmission mechanism in Ukraine in 2005–2020, defines its role, the main tasks and features of its use in the system of modern monetary regulation of the economy. It has been substantiated that the main task of managing the credit channel of the transmission mechanism is to increase the efficiency of monetary regulation by transferring monetary impulses from the central bank to the real sector of the economy in order to ensure economic growth. Criteria are determined, basic indicators are proposed and methods for assessing the effectiveness of the functioning of the credit channel of monetary transmission are improved. As a result of calculations, it was proved that in 2005–2020 in Ukraine, the credit channel of the monetary transmission mechanism had a positive effect on the growth rate of the monetary aggregate M3 and the growth rate of the real gross domestic product, while the increase in government bond yields and the share of non-performing loans had a negative impact on lending activity and the rate of lending to the economy. The main reasons for the low efficiency of using the credit channel were the deterioration of the financial condition of enterprises and households, a decrease in their creditworthiness, low demand for investment resources, a high proportion of non-performing loans, significant volumes of government bonds issued by the government and high credit risks, which made it difficult for the central bank to adopt effective decisions and constrained economic growth. The main directions of improving the management and increasing the efficiency of the functioning of the credit channel of monetary transmission in Ukraine on the basis of improving the credit and investment climate, improving the methodology for assessing credit risks, increasing the efficiency of monetary regulation and the implementation by the central bank of a monetary policy adequate to economic conditions have been identified. The forecast parameters and conditions for the effective functioning of the credit channel of the monetary transmission mechanism in Ukraine in the medium and long term are proposed.
