In Britain, economic growth is even slower, while inflation is much higher. And these countries QE has also fueled asset bubbles in the world economy.

The European Council in Lisbon ordered further assistance to help alleviate the immediate financial needs of Montenegro.

Though the German government does not officially support quantitative easing, it should be grateful to the ECB for calming financial markets.

Quantitative Easing for the People

A well functioning market would produce outcomes that favor banks with the right exposures, the right compensation schemes, the right risk sharing, and therefore the right corporate governance.

Today, the global integration of financial markets means that problems can pop up anywhere, at any time.

Indeed, a recent study by Nomura Securities finds that China s financial risk profile today uncannily resembles those of Thailand, Japan, Spain, and the United States on the eve of their financial crises.

It remains to be seen whether it can effectively restore some monetary policy influence.

Quantitative easing represents one such attempt.

The Eurozone Needs More than QE

Water Risk on the Rise

It led directly to the spread of financial risk management models, which, by excluding the possibility of default, grossly underestimated the amount of risk in the system.

Thus, a key change should be to distinguish between the IMF s financial measures and its analytical functions, especially the surveillance of exchange rates and other sources of global financial risk.

The supposed transfer of risk would turn out to have been a mirage.

A modern economy also requires risk taking.

Quantitative easing in the advanced countries also raises a question of coordination.

In the advanced economies at the core of the recent financial crisis, the rules, implicit or explicit, of strict inflation targeting regimes led monetary authorities to stay put while a massive pyramid of debt was built on a base of overvalued collateral. Now financial risks are deemed to be sufficiently important for macroeconomic management to warrant regulatory arrangements going beyond that of the microprudential supervisor.

For China, leadership means assuming additional risks.

Its effects on risk taking are debatable.

The types of risks traded on electronic marketplaces are steadily expanding.
