FRANKFURT—European Central Bank policymaker Peter Kazimir on Friday joined a growing camp of rate-setters in favor of ending the ECB’s bond-buying program, which was designed to boost inflation in the eurozone.

In an interview with Bloomberg, Kazimir said the Asset Purchase Programme (APP) could end in August but this should not be seen as paving the way for an immediate interest rate hike.
