• Crisis can’t be solved overnight, there’s no “big bang” solution
  • Nothing must be ruled out in crisis management
  • Must avert danger of contagion
  • Hypothetical Greek debt haircut would need cautious preparation
  • Eurobonds are no “wonder drug” and won’t help at the moment
  • Need to adjust EU rules so that countries who violate fiscal rules can be punished
  • Too many weaknesses in financial market regulations. G20 needs to discuss “too big to fail” shadow banking issues
  • No good that some countries are avoiding a financial transaction tax
  • Germany has important role to play as a confidence anchor in Europe
