ECB's Weidmann: signaling clear end of ECB bond buys would have been warranted

Bundesbank president and ECB governing council member, Jens Weidmann, during a scheduled speech at the German ambassador’s residence in Paris, was noted saying that signaling clear end to bond buys would have been warranted. 

Additional quotes:

   •  Expansive monetary policy is appropriate but debate is about extent and instruments
   •  Main policy impact is from balance sheet, not monthly purchases
   •  Output gap to close next year, short term growth could be faster than earlier seen
