Greek FinMin appears confident of return to ECB’s QE program

Greek Finance Minister Euclid Tsakalotos on Wednesday appeared confident that Greek bonds will once again be included in the ECB’s “quantitative easing” asset-purchase program, in comments to Bloomberg.

“QE could follow as soon as July’s maturing debt is paid,” Tsakalotos was quoted as saying. Bloomberg pointed to a July 20 payment of debt held by the ECB. “I feel confident Greek debt will be eligible” by September, he added.
