ECB's Draghi, Germany and Merkel as the ECB announces its $1 trillion bond buying program in Jan 2015- months of careful diplomacy, persuasion and compromise
01/23/2015
Draghi visited Merkel in Berlin, Jan 14, 2015. Months of careful planning in designing the program to meet the concerns of Germany, and an effort to calm German opinion and explain the program led to an extraordinary achievement for Draghi. German leaders Schauble, Merkel and Weidmann, only said the program should not take the pressure off governments to make structural reforms, but no leaders expressed opposition to the program. Geman newspapers also refrained from inciting German opinion about the program, And the program was presented as solely to pursue the target inflation rate of 2%, a core part of the ECB mandate.

How the ECB plans to implement its 1 trillion euro QE bond purchasing program in 2015-2016
01/22/2015
The risk for 80% of the bond purchases will be taken by each central bank within the eurozone, the remaining 20% will be shared between the central banks and the ECB. The program is carefully crafted to make sure risks of default or prices of a bond going down are not spread from one country to other countries in the eurozone. This was the only way to come up with a fair outcome that did not burden other countries such as Germany and create moral hazard. Eurozone economies expect to see growth in 2015 and have emerged from the crisis period of 2012-2013. The eurozone now can use the extra boost in lending promoted by the ECB, similiar to what happened with the Federal Reserve in the U.S.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
