According to the forecast, ECB will leave the benchmark interest rate at zero and the deposit rate will remain at around -0.4%, while the marginal rate will remain at 0.25%. Most economists also expect that the Central Bank will hint at the possibility of extending the QE program, but a decision is unlikely to take place before December. "The tone of the ECB's statements probably signals a tendency to soft policy. We believe that the Central Bank refutes information about folding QE program until December and will not disclose details of the extension of the program. Perhaps in December, the ECB will extend the QE program until September 2017 and will adjust its structure ", - stated Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
