ECB Report: What was heard...

QE  Combined monthly purchases of $60 billion each month until inflation is sighted towards 2 %
Purchases will start Government  in March and will go till Sept. 2016.
0.2 % real GDP grew.
Economic recovery will be supported by oil price falls.
Unemployment remains high.

Views
Euro likely under pressure. European companies would benefit. 
As proposal of $50 billion bond buying by ECB is already factored in; but now it is up at $60 billion.
Chancellor Merkel's anticipatory bail from her voters stating that ECB  action is independent but cannot replace Governmental action -Structural reforms cannot be substituted by monetary policy-
reinforced that ECB would take the QE path.
