European Central Bank bond buying changes
Mario Draghi hinted on Friday that extensions to the current QE programme could be on the table.
Mario Draghi having previously faced questions of tapering the bond buying program, suggested on Friday that the European Central Bank would be prepared to increase their Quantitative Easing measures past the expected end date in March next year. Some analysts believe that this is essentially an explicit statement of intent and that more easing is coming. The previous talk of the asset buying plan being reduced led many to believe that the Eurozone was on the up; however this now seems to of been premature.
Ed Miliband wants MP’s to have a say
The previous leader of the Labour party is said to be leading a cross party group of MP’s who believe there should be a vote in the commons before negotiations for the Brexit start. They have suggested that the UK’s referendum was not a vote to leave the single market just the European Union. Miliband has said it would be an “outrage” if Theresa May was to start negotiating before allowing all MP’s to vote on what should be the Brexit conditions.

Very efficient service. I’ve never used a service like this before & was purchasing a house in France. It was all explained very well & I was kept informed all along the process. Putting a deposit down to pre-book the rate also saved us a fortune.
