FRANKFURT—The European Central Bank has big expectations for its corporate-bond buying program, which kicks off Wednesday.
Top ECB officials have signaled in recent days that the keenly awaited stimulus program, announced in March, could help finally jolt the eurozone out of a yearslong low-inflation rut.
ECB President Mario Draghi cited corporate bond purchases as a reason for hope when he unveiled an unexpectedly weak set of inflation forecasts last week.
“We have to see the full impact of the measures that we have decided in March and that will have to be implemented yet, in June,” Mr. Draghi said, citing the corporate-bond purchases and a series of cheap four-year loans for banks, due to launch later this month.
The ECB has already bought more than €1 trillion ($1.14 trillion) of mainly government bonds under its quantitative easing program, launched 15 months ago. But this will be the first time that the Frankfurt-based central bank has ventured into the corporate bond market, a move aimed at directly spurring economic activity by lowering businesses’ borrowing costs.
