The ECB directed the central banks of all Eurozone members to buy huge quantities of Italian government bonds during the crisis. While the national central banks have not revealed how much they bought, the aggregate stock of all government bonds purchased rose from €74 billion ($102 billion) on August 4, to €165 billion this month.
危机期间，欧洲央行指示欧元区所有成员国的央行购买巨量意大利国债。各国央行并未披露各自的购买量是多少，但欧洲央行国债存量总额从8月4日的740亿欧元上升到了本月的1650亿欧元。增量中的巨大部分都来自意大利国债。
