Harsh criticism from ECB's Rehn

ECB's Rehn (and Finnish central bank governor) has some harsh criticism of the German top court saying:

  • top court is trying to interfere with the independence of the European Central Bank

Comments are in reaction to the ruling that a crisis fighting stimulus program by the ECB is potentially unconstitutional.

Rehn says that the ruling could have a far-reaching impact on the ECB's ability to deliver on its price stability mandate.
