In this sense, the ECB s bond buying program has been a failure.

Loan or bond covenants often require borrowers to agree to maintain a minimum level of equity capital or cash on hand. Government bonds, on the other hand, have no covenants.

If the bondholders are indeed the largest state owned banks, the deal actually hurts the banking system it increases the concentration of risk and implies additional losses from buying bonds with below market interest rates.

Hence, the Fed s intervention in the housing market is really an intervention in the government bond market the purported switch from buying mortgages to buying government bonds is of little significance.

If holders of Portuguese bonds are alarmed by a future Greek default, the ECB will simply increase its bond buying with no limit to its buying power, it will easily overwhelm any selling pressure.

Converting all outstanding government bonds with the exception of Greece s into Eurobonds would be by far the best remedy. It would require no transfer payments, because each country would remain responsible for servicing its own debt.

He was entrusted with a mission of selling state bonds in Amsterdam, Holland being the financial center of Europe at the time.

Indeed, nbsp eurozone countries should not relax their reform efforts on the assumption that ECB bond purchases will solve their problems.

In short, the ECB bond buying program has transformed the ECB from a passive observer of the euro crisis, paralyzed by the outdated legalistic constraints of the Maastricht Treaty, into a proper lender of last resort.
