Aviva Investors have produced an analysis of the current situation facing the ECB. The key points are: - Growth in the euro zone has stalled and deflation looms

- ECB’s next targeted long-term refinancing operation due in December
- If this funding fails to reach the real economy, calls for QE will intensify
- But ECB unlikely to act until mid-2015
