Regarding the specific contributions of M3 counterparts, the ECB pointed out that longer-term financial liabilities contributed 0.7 percentage point, net external assets contributed -0.7 percentage point, credit to general government contributed 2.6 percentage points, and credit to the private sector contributed 3.2 percentage points.

M3 continuing to expand reflected the impact of the ECB's monetary policy measures and the low opportunity cost of holding the most liquid deposits, said the ECB President Mario Draghi at the press conference following the Governing Council Meeting in December.

At the last Governing Council Meeting in 2017, ECB decided to keep key interest rates at record low and forecasted stronger economic growth in euro area.
