Almost half of respondents foresee action on Thursday, when the Governing Council sets policy in Frankfurt, with almost all the rest predicting an announcement at the October or December meetings.<\/p>\n<p>Draghi\u2019s position is reminiscent of the one Ben Bernanke faced in 2012 when the then-chair of the U.S. Federal Reserve added his third installment of asset purchases, so-called QE3, and promised to keep going as long as necessary. The ECB head has repeatedly said officials will keep up their stimulus until they see a sustained adjustment in the path of inflation, and the signs are that\u2019ll take more than another six months.<br \/>\n\u201cConditions to withdraw monetary stimulus will likely not be met next March,\u201d said Kristian Toedtmann, an economist at DekaBank in Frankfurt. \u201cThere is no point in postponing this decision.\u201d<br \/>\nInflation in the 19-nation euro area was 0.2 percent in August, unchanged from July, and core inflation weakened. Fresh ECB projections are scheduled to be released on Sept. 8., an event that has often underpinned a decision to change policy.<\/p>\n<p>The more the ECB buys, the greater the risk that a scarcity of assets turns into a shortage. To avoid that, economists see it as almost inevitable that a QE extension would have to be accompanied by a change in the central bank\u2019s self-imposed rules on purchases. That\u2019s a potentially tricky debate in the Governing Council, which set the parameters to avoid concerns over market distortion, monetary financing and risk-sharing.<br \/>\nFirst among those tweaks would be to increase the maximum share of each bond issue that the ECB can buy, according to the survey. Second would be to drop the rule that assets are ineligible if they have a yield below the deposit rate, currently minus 0.4 percent. A minority says the central bank could move away from linking national QE allocations to the size of each economy, referred to as using the \u201ccapital key.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRemoving the deposit-rate floor would be a powerful move and also politically less tricky than deviating from the capital key,\u201d said Holger Sandte, chief European analyst at Nordea Markets in Copenhagen. \u201cThe ECB will have to change the QE parameters before long, but they will probably wait until December before taking some of the council members deeper into their discomfort zone.\u201d<br \/>\nThe great unknown in the ECB\u2019s policy deliberations is the impact of the U.K.\u2019s decision to leave the European Union. Despite grim predictions, there has so far been little observable negative impact on either the euro-area economy or Britain, its biggest trading partner.<br \/>\nThe survey signals little in the way of revisions to the previous round of ECB economic projections, apart from the 2017 figure for gross domestic product growth. That estimate currently stands at 1.7 percent, and 37 of 50 economists said it would be cut.<br \/>\nThe ECB\u2019s current inflation forecast doesn\u2019t see price growth returning to target before 2018. That means ending QE &#8212; economists expect a Fed-style tapering &#8212; is probably a long way off.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy base case is that they will extend QE by six months in September,\u201d said Claus Vistesen, chief euro-zone economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics Ltd. in Newcastle, England. \u201cAnything else would be a disappointment, and likely cause a hiccup in markets.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Source : <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2016-09-04\/draghi-nears-his-qe3-as-ecb-seen-relying-on-ever-more-stimulus\">link<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div data-animation=\"no-animation\" data-icons-animation=\"no-animation\" data-overlay=\"\" data-change-size=\"\" data-button-size=\"0.7\" style=\"font-size:0.7em!important;display:none;\" class=\"supsystic-social-sharing supsystic-social-sharing-package-flat supsystic-social-sharing-content supsystic-social-sharing-content-align-left\" data-text=\"\"><a data-networks=\"[]\" class=\"social-sharing-button sharer-flat sharer-flat-1 counter-arrowed facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Facebook\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fbestinsurance.gr%2Fa1%2Farchives%2F10692\" data-main-href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u={url}\" data-nid=\"1\" data-name=\"\" data-pid=\"1\" data-post-id=\"10692\" data-url=\"https:\/\/bestinsurance.gr\/a1\/wp-admin\/admin-ajax.php\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-mailto=\"\"><i class=\"fa-ssbs fa-ssbs-fw fa-ssbs-facebook\"><\/i><div class=\"counter-wrap arrowed\"><span class=\"counter\">0<\/span><\/div><\/a><a data-networks=\"[]\" class=\"social-sharing-button sharer-flat sharer-flat-1 counter-arrowed twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Twitter\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbestinsurance.gr%2Fa1%2Farchives%2F10692&text=Draghi+Nears+His+QE3+as+ECB+Seen+Relying+on+Ever-More+Stimulus\" data-main-href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?url={url}&text={title}\" data-nid=\"2\" data-name=\"\" data-pid=\"1\" data-post-id=\"10692\" data-url=\"https:\/\/bestinsurance.gr\/a1\/wp-admin\/admin-ajax.php\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-mailto=\"\"><i class=\"fa-ssbs fa-ssbs-fw fa-ssbs-twitter\"><\/i><div class=\"counter-wrap arrowed\"><span class=\"counter\">0<\/span><\/div><\/a><\/div><p>Draghi Nears His QE3 as ECB Seen Relying on Ever-More Stimulus.If at first you don\u2019t succeed, extend, and then extend again.
