The interest rates on the marginal lending facility and the deposit facility will also remain steady at 0.25% and -0.50% respectively. The ECB increased the size of its Pandemic Emergency Purchase Programme by €500 billion until March 2022 in order to maintain liquidity and shore up the economy hit by the coronavirus pandemic.

Bank raised total amount that counterparties will be entitled to borrow in TLTRO operations from 50% to 55% of their stock of eligible loans.
