The European Central Bank is maintaining its emergency coronavirus-related bond-buying program at the current level and leaving interest rates unchanged.
In a statement Thursday, the ECB said the interest rate will remain zero percent,... and the marginal lending facility and deposit facility will stay at point-2-5 percent and half-a-percent respectively.
It expects to maintain or lower the interest rates until it sees an inflation outlook of two percent.
