De Grauwe, Paul, (2012), ‘To stabilize the Eurozone, the ECB must set aside its fears and start buying governments’ bonds’, blogs.lse.ac.uk, 31 Ιουλίου.
Government bond markets in Europe remain volatile, with Spanish and Italian bond rates at near unsustainable levels. Paul De Grauwe argues that the only institution that can stabilize these markets by buying government bonds is the European Central Bank (ECB). The ECB must now overcome its risk averse nature and take advantage of its virtually infinite resources to help to successfully restore financial stability.
