The ECB’s stated goal is to reflate the eurozone, thereby reducing the euro’s external value, by purchasing more than €1.1 trillion worth of assets. According to ECB President Mario Draghi, the inflation rate, which currently stands at just below 0%, is to be raised to an average of just below 2%.
目前，欧洲政治的焦点是以近零利率向危机国提供公共信用，这笔信用最终可能变为转移。但如今欧洲央行正在尝试通过量化宽松打破僵局。欧洲央行所宣称的目标是通过购买超过1.1万亿欧元的资产让欧元区实现再通胀，从而降低欧元的对外价值。根据欧洲央行行长德拉吉的说法，通胀率（目前略低于0%）将提升到略低于2%的平均水平。
