Question

Our question is, following the virus crisis experience in the recent years, the ECB has always had to intervene and sometimes use new tools to resolve these situations ?
Do you think it still has other tricks up its sleeve if small classes occur again ?

Answer

The answer is YES.

But becuse they will be secret, I'm not going to share them with you.
I will share one secret with you.
I think the two most efficient tools are tools that we have in the toolbox and that we have not used. 
And for those who study the ECB, it's the OMT. and it's the TPI.
So OMT is Outright Monetary Transaction or to, to, to…?
And the other one is Transmission Protection Instrument. 

These two have been worked out, elaborated, communicated just enough. Markets know. And it's been very efficient.

Words

intervene

[intransitive]
to become involved in an argument, fight, or other difficult situation in order to change what happens.

have tricks up one's sleeve

秘策がある、という意味のイディオム。
ちなみに sleeve は「袖」。日本人的な発想だと、着物のたもとに何かスゴイものを隠してるイメージ😅
ex.) I have a trick up my sleeve to solve that problem.
　　私にはその問題を解決するための秘策がある。
