An extraordinary achievement after months of careful planning in designing the 1 trillion euro bond buying program to calm German fears, diplomacy in Germany, and persuasion with German media, for Mario Draghi of the ECB and other members of the six member Governing Board of the ECB. Risk will not be passed onto other countries and will remain largely within each central bank and each country for managing its finances- this is the ECB's approach that convinced other countries, Netherlands and Germany.

In remarks published in English on the Bundesbank website, Jens Weidmann, Bundesbank president and member of the ECB governing council said: "The ECB should be aware of its independence. This also requires it to respect, and not to overstep its own mandate." This is seen as a pushback by the Bundesbank to ECB president Draghi's comments on July 23, 2012, about doing all that is necessary to keep the eurozone together. Weidmann referring to the situation in France recollecting his days as a student in France in 1987, said there were "two different worldviews colliding." And that this situation prevailed in all political debates right up to the present day. He says about deflationary tendencies -"If these countries go through adjustment processes which result in decreases in wages and prices, then this constitutes one-off shifts in the wage and price structure and not deflation."

Puerto Rico is expected to sell $3 billion in new debt at rates of between 8.62% to 8.87%. Investors get the higher yields with the general obligation pledge- the constitution states all the island's available resources would be used to see that investors are protected. The borrowing at lower rates than expected gives time for the region to help restore the stability of its finances.

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.
