• Some steps are needed in EFSF
  • ECB can act within the treaty (hurry up then!!!)
  • The ECB should not do things that are not in EU treaty
  • Now, most important thing for ECB to repair credit channel
  • We have to make sure credit channel will start to work again
  • We have seen serious credit tightening in recen period
  • Combo of credit tightening and deterioration of business cycle does not bode well at all
  • SMP used to repair monetary policy transmission channel, not to finance govts
  • SMP is temporary, limited
  • SMP not infinite
