How Mario Draghi, ECB president, sees the problems in the eurozone and policy direction in 2012-2015
01/11/2010
A wide ranging interview with Mario Draghi by Wall Street Journal reporters Blackstone, Karnitschnig and Thomson, which gives insights on how Draghi sees solutions to the crisis in the eurozone and future policy. Draghi favors good fiscal consolidation which combines freeing up labor markets and structural changes for Italy, Spain and other southern countries, with spending reductions, and capital investment in the future as opposed to tax increases for current spending and lack of capital investment for future growth. He points out that with excessive debt to GDP ratios there is no alternative to this right kind of fiscal consolidation.

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.
