Keywords:
The eurozone economy has grown by 3.6% and created 4 million jobs since the start of the bond buying program by the European Central Bank in 2015, according to the ECB. This means that the program has largely accomplished what it set out to do to revive the eurozone economy.

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.

The Euribor 12 month rate at 0.187% in April 2015, and the impact on housing and homeowner mortgages in Spain, Portugal, Italy and other eurozone countries
04/14/2015
In Spain most mortgage interest rates are tied to the 12 month Euribor, set at about 0.3% above the 12 month Euribor rate, which was 0.187% in April 2015. In Portugal most morgage interest rates are set using the average of the 3 and 6 month Euribor rate, which are close to zero. The result is significant reduction in mortgage payments by a third to half of the original mortgage payment. This is providing significant relief to homeowners with mortgages in Spain, Portugal and Italy. Spain and Portugal suffer from a severe housing crisis and high unemployment. This result of the ECB monetary policy, aids the economic recovery in Europe.

The ECB and buying of government bonds of troubled eurozone countries
08/07/2011
The purchases of Italian and Spanish bonds by the European Central Bank in addition to its holdings of 75 billion euros of Portuguese, Greek and Irish bonds creates additional balance sheet risk for the ECB. Losses in the value of collateral could wipe out the 10 billion euro capital base of the ECB. The pressing need to give resources and new powers to the European Financial Stability Facility so that this agency could do the bond buying in the place of the ECB.

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.
