FRANKFURT (Reuters) – The European Central Bank will discuss whether to raise its regular bond purchases when its pandemic-fighting scheme ends, ECB policymaker Madis Muller said in an interview published on Wednesday.

“I realise that it would be a problem if there is a very sharp cliff effect at the end of the pandemic emergency purchase programme (PEPP),” the Estonian central bank chief was quoted as saying by Bloomberg.

According to Bloomberg, he stated that a part of the discussions we’ll have about how to eliminate PEPP would include enhancing the ECB Asset Purchase Programme. This would also impact asset purchase going forward.
