European Central Bank purchases €12.51 billion of government and agency bonds last week
The European Central Bank (ECB) purchased €12.51 billion of government and agency bonds under its quantitative-easing program last week.
The ECB bought €1.71 billion of covered bonds, and €185 million of asset-backed securities.
The ECB cut its interest rate to 0.00% from 0.05% and deposit rate to -0.4% from -0.3% last Thursday. The ECB also expanded its monthly purchases to €80 billion from €60 billion, to take effect in April. Purchases will include non-bank corporate debt.
The central bank will launch further four targeted longer-term refinancing operations (LTRO).
