Handelsblatt: ECB considers the possibility of leaving the Troika

Handelsblatt also reports that the International Monetary Fund is also like to leave the troika soon

The European Central Bank is considering the possibility of leaving the Troika of Greece’s international creditors, according to an article published by Handelsblatt on Tuesday.

The debate on a possible withdrawal reflects concerns within the ECB that its large-scale bond-buying plan, announced in January, could lead to conflicts of interest, says the German business daily.

Citing a German government source, the article states that the ECB will use the chance created by the current political developments to exit.

Handelsblatt also reports that the International Monetary Fund is also like to leave the troika soon, leaving the European Commission as the only remaining member.
