PRAGUE (Reuters) - The ECB will not automatically expand it Asset Purchase Programme when its 1.85 trillion euro pandemic emergency stimulus scheme ends, ECB policymaker Peter Kazimir told Bloomberg on Tuesday.

The ECB’s Pandemic Emergency Purchase Programme is expected to end next March and investors expect the ECB to ramp up other stimulus measures at the time to pick up the slack.
