Minutes from the ECB March meeting have just been released. Below we present key takeaways:
- Policymakers noticed that rise in bond yields occurred mostly on account of higher expected inflation and a better outlook for the global economy therefore the Governing Council needed to avoid giving the impression of being overly focused on sovereign yields or reacting mechanically to a set of indicators of financing conditions.
- ECB officials all agreed that PEPP purchase pace need to take into account assessment of current financing conditions and the inflation outlook
- ECB members agree that the total PEPP envelope should not be called into question in the current conditions and that the pace of purchases could be reduced in the future
- Officials agreed that the Governing Council would conduct a quarterly joint assessment of financing conditions and the inflation outlook to determine the pace of purchases necessary to maintain favorable financing conditions.
