Stark on the wires….

Posted: 11 Jun 2010 02:36 AM PDT

Speaking at an event in Frankfurt, ECB member Stark made the following comments:

  • “Crazy” to ask if there’s a future for the euro.
  • Today’s crisis is a new phase of global crisis.
  • Europe’s economic fundamentals remain strong.
  • Economic growth will pick up again.
  • Potential growth will be similar to pre-crisis.
  • The crisis is not just a euro area problem.
  • Crisis is a loss of confidence in fiscal policies.
  • Ratings agencies have been irresponsible.
  • Recent tensions in sovereign debt markets are a test.
  • Crisis is a wake-up call for all politicians.
  • He’s confident that the euro is the future for Europe.
  • We need more competition among ratings agencies.
  • ECB is independent, was never influenced by governments.
  • Inflation is still very anchored.
  • M3 is signaling no inflation risks ahead.
