European Central Bank President Mario Draghi has given his clearest signal yet on what the central bank is up to and how the ECB is going act on the euro cris, in what seems to be an unofficial disclosure by European lawmakers of his confidential statement before the European Parliament.
According to reports, during the closed-door meeting of the lawmakers, Draghi defended a number of measures introduced by the ECB, including the controversial bond-purchase plan, and indicated that the central bank is not averse to buying government bonds of up to three-year maturities on the secondary market.
Draghi, who is widely expected to announce the details of his latest crisis-fighting measures after the ECB Governing Council meeting on Thursday, reportedly said that the latest plan will not amount to state financing of euro area governments. Read Predictions ECB Meeting september 6 2012
