Germany versus ECB – Never Ending Monetary Policy Battles

Interesting commentary from Dr. Michael Ivanovitch:
“The German government appointee to the ECB's Council is now saying "yes, but …" The "yes" is an apparently grudging admission that the ECB has "to do something" to get inflation back up in the target range, but Germany considers that interest rate cuts, asset purchases and other extraordinary monetary policy instruments are going "too far."
At a closer look, it turns out that asset purchases are for Germans the main part of that alleged policy overkill.”
