According to Wieland, such statements are also helpful for the Corona aid program PEPP, especially with regard to an exit strategy. "These are now very, very high bond holdings that are being built up now, they should be reinvested for a longer period of time. Here too, further differentiation and an explanation of how this is to be reduced would be useful," said Wieland.
