Merkel Adviser Bofinger Says Capping Yields Within ECB Mandate

Peter Bofinger, an economic adviser to German Chancellor Angela Merkel, said it would be within the European Central Bank’s price-stability mandate to cap yields on euro-area sovereign bonds.

“If the ECB stabilizes the value of government bonds, it prevents an implosion of values,” Bofinger said in an interview in Frankfurt today. “If the ECB acts like this, it prevents deflation. It is completely within its mandate to maintain price stability.”

Schaeuble Says All of Europe Will Have Euro Eventually, DPA Says

German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said all of Europe will one day use the single currency, including the U.K., Deutsche Presse Agentur reported.
Although it will happen over a long period of time, the U.K. will eventually adopt the euro, Schaeuble told DPA in an interview. He said that while Germany “respects” Britain’s decision not to join the monetary union, a stabilized euro will convince others to adopt the single currency, DPA said.
“It will happen perhaps faster than some in the British Isles currently believe,” the minister said in the interview.
