>> GROUP: Shadow ECB Council / EZB-Schattenrat  Jan Mallien

Jan Mallien: The ECB is increasingly struggling to find enough assets to buy. Against this background, the members of the Shadow ECB Council will discuss the following topic at the next meeting tomorrow afternoon:

How long can the ECB continue its asset purchases? When should it start tapering and how?

The members of the Shadow ECB Council will post their pre-meeting statements in the TEEC-Forum "Shadow ECB Council / EZB-Schattenrat". All TEEC members are invited to contribute to the discussion by personal comments in this forum. To post your comment please click on the link beneath the headline.

+++ Background: The Shadow ECB Council was founded in 2002 upon an initiative of Handelsblatt, the German business and financial daily. It is an unofficial panel, independent of the ECB/Eurosystem, and comprising prominent European economists drawn from academia, financial institutions, consultancies, companies and research institutes. The Shadow Council usually convenes by telephone conference on a quarterly basis. Its discussions take place before the official ECB Governing Council "policy" meetings. +++
