EUROPEAN Central Bank (ECB) members are all prepared to take more policy action if necessary and the bank's staff will prepare the groundwork in case, president Mario Draghi said on Thursday.
The ECB kept interest rates at a record-low 0.05 per cent at its monthly meeting, waiting to see how stimulus measures laid out in recent months unfold. The deposit rate remained at minus 0.2 per cent and the marginal lending rate at 0.3 per cent.
