CES-Ifo just released their survey results for the regular poll of some 220 German economists. And if you think that professionals are at any odds with Schäuble on monetary policy of the ECB, think again.
Which, of course, is absolutely correct. For German economy, ECB’s policy is too loose. For French economy, about right. For Italy and Spain – probably somewhat too restrictive, although who on Earth can tell with any degree of confidence what ‘about right’ policy for these two can even look like…
Still, the key point remains: Euro is still a malfunctioning currency that cannot reconcile differences between various economies. In other words, Europe’s problem is not Germany. It is not France, nor Spain, nor Italy. Europe’s problem is not even Euro. Instead, Europe’s problem is Europe.
