Speaking at a news conference in Naples, following the monthly meeting of the European Central Bank's governing council on 2 October 2014, ECB President Mario Draghi said that the Bank would buy covered bonds and asset-backed securities (ABS) in the final three months of 2014.

Mr Draghi also confirmed that the bank would loosen its rules to buy securities with junk ratings issued by Greek and Cypriot banks, but only if the countries stick to their bail-out programmes.
