Draghi Says Scope for ECB Purchases of ABS Is ’Rather Large’
2014-11-03 18:31:07.194 GMT


By Stefan Riecher
Nov. 3 (Bloomberg) -- The scope of eligible asset-backed
securities “is rather large and purchases of senior tranches
alone should make it possible to generate significant volumes,”
ECB President Mario Draghi says.
* Draghi comments in letters to European lawmakers
* Says the ECB expects a “dynamic response of ABS issuance to
the purchase program”
* Says while the ECB doesn’t have “precise targets” for its
asset-purchase plans and its long-term bank loans, the
programs “will have a sizeable effect on our balance
sheet”
* “Fiscal policy should fully respect the rules and
recommendations issued under the Stability and Growth Pact”
* “Fiscal policies can provide further support to growth:
cutting non-productive expenditure can create space for
reducing taxes and increasing public investment”
* NOTE: The ECB’s Governing Council gathers in Frankfurt this
week and announces its monetary-policy decision on Nov. 6
