Europe needs action now on inflation to brake loss of euro trust
By Jürgen Stark
The European Central Bank’s asymmetric monetary policy approach, followed for several years, has now become a source of instability – the opposite of what its mandate decrees.

The time has come to brake the loss of trust in the ECB and in the stability of the euro....
