reduction of PSPP from EUR50bn to EUR22bn in 2018, while CSPP would decline from
EUR7bn to EUR6bn per month, on average."
- In terms of the main drivers for the ECB, Ducrozet writes that "ECB will
remain prudent and highly dependent on inflation data, including (super) core
inflation, wage growth, and (broad) unemployment".

favourite.
