Draghi sees no sign of bond shortage for ECB debt buying
Frankfurt
MARIO Draghi pushed back against concerns that the European Central Bank's quantitative easing (QE) plan will be hampered by a shortage of bonds available to buy.
"We see no signs that there will not be enough bonds for us to purchase," the ECB president said at a hearing on Monday at the European Parliament in Brussels. "Feedback from market participants so far suggests that implementation has been very smooth and that market liquidity remains ample."
