The European Central Bank (ECB) President Mario Draghi said at a press conference on Thursday:

• Domestic demand in the Eurozone remains resilient,
  
• There are risks to the outlook for growth and inflation from a slowdown in emerging economies and from developments in financial and commodity markets;
  
• The value of the ECB's asset-buying programme will be discussed at the monetary policy meeting in December;
  
• The central bank will expand its asset-buying programme if needed to boost inflation toward the 2% target;
  
• The economy in the Eurozone is expected to recover slower due to weaker than expected foreign demand;
  
• The low inflation is driven by lower energy prices;
  
• Inflation is expected to rise during 2016 and 2017;
  
• Lending continued to improve;
  
• The Governing Council discussed the possibility to cut interest rates, but the decision was not made.
