French President François Hollande: the European Central Bank will decide on Thursday to buy government bonds

French President François Hollande said on Monday the European Central Bank (ECB) will decide on Thursday to buy government bonds, "which will provide significant liquidity to the European economy and create a movement that is favourable to growth".

An ECB spokesman declined to comment.

The comments from the French president were surprising as the ECB is independent from governments.
