ECB: Visco, maintain flexibility even after Covd

(ANSA) - ROME, OCTOBER 18 - The ECB should "maintain flexibility" even after the end of the pandemic and "we must certainly discuss how to develop our asset purchase programs".

This was stated by the governor of Bancad'Italia Ignazio Visco in an interview with Bloomberg TV.

"It will help - he explains against unexpected shocks and to avoid the fragmentation that can grow again".

For the governor, moreover, the possibility that the ECB increases the limit of purchases of bonds issued by the EU with the Next Generation Eu, is an option that has yet to be discussed.
