Comments from Nowotny

  • A lot of discussions needed on QE volume and timing
  • Markets are prepared for policy normalization
  • Too early to give details on QE plans
  • Doesn't see danger of taper tantrum in Europe
  • Economic perspective is 'generally positive'
  • Wage developments are getting stronger

Earlier today, the ECB floated cutting QE in half to 30 billion euros per month starting in January.
