FRANKFURT (Reuters) - The European Central Bank will restart its bond purchase scheme on Oct 30, with first settlements due on Nov 1, it said in a market message on Friday.

The bank added that it would temporarily halt purchases between Dec 19 and Jan 1 in anticipation of significantly lower market liquidity toward the end of the year.

The ECB decided in September to restart purchases on Nov 1, running at a monthly rate of 20 billion euros a month.
