Abstract

The ECB’s announcements that it could conduct Outright Monetary Transactions led to sizeable changes in the yield curves of some euro area countries. In particular, two-year bond yields in Italy and Spain are estimated to have fallen by around 200 basis points. As a consequence, it is likely that the announcements have had a positive effect on economic activity, prices and loans in Italy and Spain. JEL Classification: E47, E58, C54
