European Central Bank (ECB) President Mario Draghi said on Thursday that the bank had “never discussed” issuing so-called helicopter money as part of its efforts to bolster the euro zone’s economy.
“We haven’t really thought or talked about it… It’s a very interesting concept … but we haven’t studied it,” he said at his regular media conference, according to Reuters.
The bank maintained its monetary policy on Thursday, after delivering a surprise set of measures last month to boost the euro zone economy.
