Nov 30, 2020 at 11:07 comment added MrMartin @CQM thanks for your insight. So to give the answer some depth, do you now know 1)Which bonds the ECB selects, and 2)What happens to the money paid in interest back to the ECB?
Nov 29, 2020 at 4:53 comment added CQM fortunately I am still around and have been watching the credit markets for the last 6 years! Central banks like the ECB buy the bonds, and it relies on member states (and corporations) to issue the bonds - "issue" being to literally write on a piece of paper that they will pay x% over a period of years and getting billions of dollars in return. When the ECB purchases anything, it receives the asset and the recipient receives Euros which did not exist prior to that transaction. So it is more about what the recipient does with the money. The ECB has few controls over what it actually purchases
