The European Central Bank (ECB) has kept its key interest rate at an all time low of 0.05%.
The ECB has held rates at this level across the 19 countries that use the euro currency since September 2014, the BBC reports.
Since February it has turned to its monthly EUR 60bn bond buying programme, or quantitative easing, to stimulate the economy.
ECB President Mario Draghi was expected to recommit to the programme at a press conference later on Wednesday.
