What is TPI?
ECB’s Transmission Protection Instrument (TPI) allows it to buy unlimited
amounts of bonds from a country. This could be done if a country came under excess market pressure. In the case of France the context is the snap election called by the President last weekend (Sunday the 9th June ICYMI). This has seen a sell-off of French bonds due to market fears over a far-right government winning the election.
