Changes to the ECB calendar

The ECB announced today that its January 20 meeting has been pushed to Feb 3.

The schedule is now:

  • 28 October
  • 16 December
  • 3 February
  • 10 March
  • 14 April
  • 6 June

That puts more pressure on the ECB to taper in December, though that was already baked in.

In addition, twice a year the ECB will now meet outside of Frankfurt.
