IMF Gloomy On Global Economy, Pushes ECB To Adopt Weimar Style Monetary Policies
The latest report from the World Economic Outlook, released by the International Monetary Fund, cuts its forecast on global GDP growth. Of greater importance is the focus the IMF placed on the Eurozone debt crisis. According to the IMF report, “The utmost priority is to resolve the crisis in the euro area.”
The IMF appears to be standing with those who are calling for the European Central Bank to replicate the loose monetary policies and money printing of the U.S. Federal Reserve and its chairman, Ben Bernanke. The report virtually pleads for the ECB president, Mario Draghi, to place his printing presses in overdrive.
“The ECB should ensure that its monetary support is transmitted effectively across the region and should continue to provide ample liquidity support to banks under sufficiently lenient conditions,” so says the International Monetary Fund in its report. It appears that the IMF is seeking Weimar style solutions to the European debt crisis, obviously forgetful of what those policies did for Germany in the 1920s and early 1930s.
