ECB: Not time yet for an 'exit strategy'

The European Central Bank has said it will not yet roll back the emergency measures it implemented to contain the eurozone debt crisis.

"Any 'exit strategy' talk for the time being is premature," ECB president Mario Draghi said after its latest monthly meeting.

He has previously said the worst of the crisis is over.

The ECB recently took the unusual step of lending more than 1tn euros ($1.3tn; £828bn) of low-interest loans to banks.
