Summary:
The ECB is aware of its role and is ready to play it: “The Governing Council will do everything necessary within its mandate.”This is the end of financial markets’ power over national governments. This is a very positive development that makes a repeat of the austerity policy after the financial crisis at least less likely. The other problem that countries see is the Commission’s deficit limits. However, these have been suspended for the time being.
