Will the ECB increase asset purchase in 2016? Economists polled by FT think not

Inflation in Eurozone has stayed too low for way to long. Currently, inflation is just 0.2 per cent and has been below 1 per cent for more than two years. The ECB on 3rd December had slashed deposit rate by 10 basis points on 3rd December, along with extending the current QE programme to March 2017.
