ECB revises its meeting schedules, introduces voting rotation system

Frankfurt

THE European Central Bank (ECB) was originally scheduled to announce its first monetary-policy decision of 2015 on Thursday, followed by president Mario Draghi's regular press conference. Instead, it's embarking on a new era of less frequent decisions and more transparent communication.

This is also a year of expansion, with a new member for the eurozone, a list of tasks for the ECB's new bank-supervision unit and possibly the region's biggest monetary stimulus yet.
