European Central Bank Chief Tamps Down Optimism
Mario Draghi’s remarks, made after the bank held rates steady, were unexpectedly pessimistic and could dampen hopes that the euro zone is finally on the mend.
"Bank lending, which is usually considered a precondition for economic
growth, continues to decline. Especially in countries like Italy and
Spain, many companies are caught in a vicious circle where they need
credit to expand but are not making enough money to qualify for loans.
“Without credit, there is not going to be any growth,” Jörg Zeuner,
chief economist at KfW Banking Group, a development bank owned by the
German government, said Thursday. “Without business prospects, there is
not going to be a lot of credit demand.”"
The writer does not call Mario Draghi a liar. A failing.
