  • ECB’s cheap 3 year loans fended off risks of liquidity crunch, funds circulating in economy
  • ECB ready to provide 3 year funding in February, using principle of full acceptance
  • Banks’ dependency on ECB short-term funding rising (not a good thang!!)
  • ECB non-standard measures cannot be of long-term nature, politicians must do homework
  • 3 year cheap loans’ results show non-standard measures significant funding boost, spur confidence
  • Market still not functioning, we see some rebound in unsecured securities but we are in early stage
  • Bond-buy programme neither automatic, nor without limit
