Press Release: Greece should resume policy dialogue and agree on reforms, Draghi tells MEPs

The European Central Bank’s expanded asset purchase programme, better known as ;quantitative easing' (QE), was starting to make headway across the European Union, ECB President Mario Draghi told Economic and Monetary Committee MEPs on 23 March 2015.

Mr Draghi also reported on the tough negotiations with Greece and outlined what it would take for the ECB to reinstate the waiver for buying Greek state bonds on the secondary market, so as to enable QE to benefit Greece, too.
