Abstract

This paper investigates the impact of ECB Unconventional Monetary Policy an-nouncements on the 10-year sovereign bond yields of eleven Euro area countries. Thispaper uses event study methodology to examine expansionary UMP announcements between 1st January 2007 and 31st December 2021. Consistent with the literature, I findsignificant negative announcement effects on sovereign yields collectively examining all programmes. Differences in the magnitude and significance of individual countryreactions are closely related to their solvency status. This is persistent for the most recent programmes in response to the Covid-19 pandemic which extends the scope of current literature. This paper also incorporates intraday analysis to more closely examine the determinants of announcement effects on their respective dates.
