ECB VIEW
ECB VIEW: Any decision by the European Central Bank's Governing Council to hike
rates will be discussed and taken only once the asset purchase program ends,
with no talks yet, let alone decisions taken, as to timing or depth of the first
hike, MNI understands. Although there are clearly some members of the Governing
Council who believe the first hike could come as soon as 6 months after the
ECB's asset purchase programme comes to an end -- Bundesbank President Jens
Weidmann backed such a view view in late March -- MNI understands the debate has
not yet begun and will not be discussed in material terms until the APP draws to
a close. Seem MNI Main Wire at 1209BST for full story
