Abstract

By December 2018, the Eurosystem will have bought more than EUR 2,500 billion of securities as part of its Asset Purchase Programmes (APP). These purchases are governed by a number of principles, one of which is "market neutrality". This is intended to minimise the potentially distortive effects of purchases on the functioning of the financial markets, while enabling the transmission of monetary policy stimulus to the economy. We demonstrate this in this blog by comparing the Eurosystem's purchasing techniques with those of other central banks. En décembre 2018, l’Eurosystème aura acheté plus de 2500 milliards d’euros d’actifs dans le cadre de ses programmes d’achat (APP). Plusieurs principes encadrent ces achats, dont celui de « neutralité de marché ». Cette dernière vise à limiter les effets potentiellement distorsifs des achats sur le fonctionnement des marchés financiers, tout en permettant la transmission du stimulus monétaire à l’économie. Nous l’illustrons dans ce billet en comparant les techniques d’achats de l’Eurosystème à celles des autres banques centrales.
