Regarding German constitutional court ruling on European Central Bank’s (ECB) bond-buying programme, the ECB found a “pragmatic and sensible” way forward, Governing Council member Olli Rehn told Handelsblatt on Thursday.
Rehn further added that their solution won’t raise any questions on the independence of the ECB.
