ECB launches Quantitative Easing for the Euro Zone
22nd January 2015
In a long awaited move, the European Central Bank (ECB) has launched a huge programme of quantitative easing (QE) (60 billion euro per month) as part of their continued efforts to kick-start recovery in the struggling single currency bloc. The ECB is hoping that increasing the base supply of money through bond purchases will stimulate bank lending and exports not least because of the anticipated depreciation of the Euro.
