This thesis aims to examine the effect of European Central Bank's (ECB) oral communication on the financial systemic stress in the euro area. It considers ad-hoc speeches and interviews by the members of the ECB Governing Coun- cil as well as official press conferences between July 2008 and January 2014. The empirical analysis tests the effects of communication intensity and senti- ment and whether they differ in different stress regimes. Regression results of ARIMA based models and Threshold auto-regressive model suggest that oc- currence of official press conference increases the systemic stress, sentiment of communication matters only in the case of the ad-hoc speeches and interviews, but mainly that both the official and unofficial oral communication have a con- siderably stronger effect in periods of heightened systemic stress. Although the estimated effects are rather small, this thesis provides support for the hypoth- esis that ECB communication can affect the systemic stress. i
