FRANKFURT (Reuters) - The European Central Bank is undeterred by a German court ruling demanding that it justify its massive purchases of government bonds or lose the Bundesbank as its main buyer, ECB President Christine Lagarde said on Thursday.
"We are an independent institution, accountable to the European Parliament, driven by mandate," Lagarde told a Bloomberg webinar. "We'll continue to do whatever is needed... to deliver on that mandate."
"Undeterred, we will continue doing so," she added.
