Aviva Investors have produced an analysis of the current situation facing the ECB.

  • Banks fail to pass on cheap funding
  • 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
