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.

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.
