Think what he’s trying to say here is, don’t bloody expect Germany to make up any difference….

  • ECB has no mandate to finance states
  • ECB will continue to fulfill mandate
  • ECB can buy govt bonds to counter market distortions
  • I respect Weidmann’s vote against ECB bond buying plan
  • I have confidence in the ECB
  • ECB hasn’t stated size of bond buys to fight speculation
  • ECB won’t take decisions that lead to financing govts
