FILED - 23 January 2020, Hessen, Frankfurt/Main: Christine Lagarde, President of the European Central Bank (ECB), speaks at one of the ECB's regular press conferences. The ECB has announced a ยท750 billion emergency bond purchase programme to combat the economic consequences of the coronavirus pandemic. This is to involve government and corporate bonds. The programme will be terminated as soon as the ECB's Governing Council considers the corona crisis to be over, but not before the end of the year, the statement continued.
