At least for the moment…but ECB’s keeping a close eye out for any signs of instability

  • ECB’s goal remains one of medium-term stability
  • Won’t withdraw liquidity in the near future , but has the tools available to do so if needed
  • Future debt certificate issuance is an option if ECB withdraws huge funds in a short time span
  • Monetary policy shouldn’t be dominated by bank supervision
  • There should be a clear separation between the two functions
  • Not currently engaged in any negotiations with any governments in the eurozone on conditions for bond-buying
