ECB: TPI purchases will focus on public sector securities

The European Central Bank (ECB) has recently published additional details about its new anti-fragmentation tool titled “Transmission Protection Instrument (TPI)”.

Featured Statements

“TPI purchases would focus on public sector securities.”

“Purchases under the TPI would be carried out in such a way as not to cause a persistent impact on the Eurosystem’s balance sheet and thus on the monetary policy stance.”

“Purchases under the TPI have a residual maturity of between one and ten years.”

“Private sector purchases of securities could be considered.”

“Purchases would end either on a lasting improvement in transmission, or based on an assessment that lingering tensions are due to the country’s fundamentals.”

“TPI Conditions: Sound and Sustainable Macroeconomic Policies”.
