Minutes from the ECB December meeting have just been released. ECB officials all agreed that additional support is still needed due to high uncertainty and concerns over risks related to developments in the exchange rate. Policymakers also consider appropriate and proportional to increase the horizon of net purchases under PEPP. Members noticed that the risk of not meeting inflation expectations was still high. Some officials believe that PEPP is more efficient than a rate cut in the current pandemic conditions.
