欧洲商业票据是银行或公司在国际货币市场上发行的计值货币为非本币的短期票据。其期限通常不超过几个月，常常折价发行，几乎都是通过交易商销售的。.
据熟悉欧洲商业票据市场的人士透露，大部分这类债券的期限为60天，也就是说兑付的压力很快就会到来。
Much of that debt carries a maturity of only 60 days, meaning most of the burden will come soon, according to a person familiar with the euro commercial-paper market.
但是，随着经济出现一些复苏的希望逐渐黯淡，欧洲央行可能很快开始购买商业票据和长期银行债券。
But with the economy showing few signs of recovery, the ECB may start to buy commercial paper and longer-term bank bonds fairly soon.
据消息人士透露，欧洲央行此前曾考虑购买包括企业债券和商业票据在内的1 250亿欧元的资产。
The ECB initially considered a package of asset purchases worth 125 billion euros that included corporate bonds and commercial paper, according to people briefed on the talks.
