Economic Memos provide insight into the analysis work being performed by Danmarks Nationalbank’s employees. For example, Economic Memos contain background analyses and method descriptions. Economic Memos are primarily targeted at people who already have a knowledge of economic and financial analyses.
Will the end of the ECB’s asset purchase programmes impact the Danish mortgage bond market?
The ECB has ended its net purchases of bonds. As a result, the ECB will no longer dampen volatility in the euro area bond markets to the same extent. This may lead to greater volatility in the Danish mortgage bond market. In recent years, banks have reduced their market-making capacity in the mortgage bond market, which may affect their ability to dampen increased volatility.
