The European Central Bank (ECB) will buy around EUR 15 billion worth of bonds per month in 2019, using the principal payments from maturing securities brought under its stimulus programme, the central bank board member Benoit Coeure said in an interview published on Monday, according to Reuters.
“We will continue to reinvest the principal payments from maturing securities in our portfolio, or around 15 billion euro per month, in 2019,” Coeure told French daily Le Figaro.
