How the ECB plans to implement its 1 trillion euro QE bond purchasing program in 2015-2016

01/22/2015

The risk for 80% of the bond purchases will be taken by each central bank within the eurozone, the remaining 20% will be shared between the central banks and the ECB. The program is carefully crafted to make sure risks of default or prices of a bond going down are not spread from one country to other countries in the eurozone. This was the only way to come up with a fair outcome that did not burden other countries such as Germany and create moral hazard. Eurozone economies expect to see growth in 2015 and have emerged from the crisis period of 2012-2013. The eurozone now can use the extra boost in lending promoted by the ECB, similiar to what happened with the Federal Reserve in the U.S.
