Display:
Draghi : we overestimated inflation for 2014, our current estimate for 2015 (0.7%) does NOT take into account the slide in oil prices, so it's urgent to do nothing until we have evaluated the supplementary impact.

Positive : QE will be possible in Q1 2015, and does not require unanimity of governors.

Negative : While comprehensively betraying their mandate on inflation, the ECB hectors nations to "reform" - NOT their mandate.

A society committed to the notion that government is always bad will have bad government. And it doesn't have to be that way. — Paul Krugman
