The ECB today cut its deposit rate to minus 0.1 percent, becoming the first
major central bank to take one of its main rates negative. Draghi said the
ECB will introduce new, “targeted” offerings of liquidity to banks to
encourage them to lend money to the real economy. Officials will also start
work on purchases of asset-backed securities, he said.
“We decided on a combination of measures to provide additional monetary
policy accomodation and to support lending to the real economy,” Draghi
told reporters in Frankfurt.
A worsening in the economic outlook and a prolonged spell of slow inflation
has prompted the ECB to act to preserve the fragile recovery in the world’s
second-largest economy. The ECB’s already-loose monetary policy hasn’t
been able to reach all parts of the 18-nation euro area’s economy, and
while sovereign bond yields in countries like Spain and Italy are near
record lows, bank lending in those countries is still contracting as the
economy struggles to recover.
The euro fell as much as 0.3 percent to $1.3558 in the immediate aftermath
of the rate announcement. It’s dropped 3 percent since touching a 2 1/2
year high of nearly $1.40 on May 8.
