Ni na poslednjem sastanku u 2016. godine ECB nije povisila kamatne stope – osnovna 0,00%, na kredite 0,25%, na depozite -0,40%. Odlučeno je da se nastavi sa Programom kupovine aktive (APP) i posle marta sve do kraja 2017. godine, a i kasnije u slučaju potrebe, ali sa 60 milijardi evra mesečno (umesto 80 milijardi evra). Sve zbog i dalje usporenog rasta, a sa željom da ostvare ciljanu inflaciju (2% u srednjem roku).
Even at the last meeting in 2016, the ECB did not raise interest rates – basic 0.00%, loans 0.25%, deposits -0.40%. It was decided to continue with the Asset Purchase Program (APP) after March until the end of 2017, and later if necessary, but with 60 billion euros per month (instead of 80 billion euros). All because of still slow growth, and with the desire to achieve the target inflation (2% in the medium term).
