The expanded asset purchase programme (EAPP) has had a significant positive impact on macroeconomic developments in Finland. The ECB’s decisions of December 2015 and March 2016 are forecast to boost Finland’s GDP by approximately 0.5%. The EAPP has also had a significant impact on price developments: without the purchase programme, inflation in 2016 would have been around 0.3 of a percentage point slower. The programme has also substantially increased both corporate and household credit demand.
