ANALYSIS
The ECB's Dilemma
The Bank of Japan has already launched an active policy to generate liquidity and working

In the race against time that has arisen between the damage of austerity and hope for an improvement on the one hand, and the increasingly worrying rise of populism in Europe, on the other hand, it seems that the governments of our different countries have decided to leave the task to get us out of the doldrums in the hands of central banks. However, this finding is not entirely fair. Indeed, since the beginning of its mandate, François Hollande has not stopped asking for a reorientation of European Union policy towards growth, to the point of having been questioned in France and having been reproached antagonize Angela Merkel. However, a year later, is not alone in this field, it is joined by countries like Italy and Spain and, above all, many European leaders, including the president of the Commission, José Manuel Barroso, not to mention U.S. authorities. The latest to join this fight that involves pressing Germany to demonstrate flexibility in its position has been Bill Clinton, former U.S. president who, after visiting Madrid, has led to Paris, where he returned to advocate for a better balance between adjustment of the accounts and the recovery of activity.
For the next European summit is preparing a plan for youth employment that Italy has asked and most have strongly supported. And expect other efforts, especially the mobilization of so-called "structural funds", passed last July and, for reasons that surpass all understanding, takes to materialize.
Everyone now advocates active policy of central banks, including the European Bank. The question is how far Mario Draghi?
Even so, central banks focus all hopes of Governments. The turning point was undoubtedly the new direction turning Japanese and Japan's central bank, which has been put to create liquidity in an almost equally spectacular than the U.S. Federal Reserve. Japan is a good benchmark for Europe. Our situation reminds of Japan effect of the nineties, when the United States decided to counter the Japanese commercial expansion, which was the main driver of growth in this country, through a policy of import dólar.La weakening of the crisis in Europe during the summer of 2008 as a result of the actions of U.S. banks against European banks, were placed in the same situation that Japan at the time, or worse, a stagnation or even a recession can be long lasting . The difference is that the U.S. government seems to have taken over the danger posed also for the United States, a Europe weakened.
Everyone now advocates active policy of central banks, including the European Bank. The question is how far Mario Draghi? Knowing that the facilities that may be granted by U.S. and Japanese central banks are hardly transferable to the euro zone, because, as everyone knows, this does not have any federal authority. It is besides the sense that François Hollande proposals addressed to Germany and other European members of the eurozone, to consolidate this and structuring, which allow the Bank to be more active.
However, there is a counterexample: Great Britain. The Bank of England has not been stingy when it comes to issue currency, it has released the equivalent of nearly 20% of its domestic product. And despite this, Britain is in recession and the outlook for 2013 is bleak.
In France, there are those who dream that the scenario developed by Jacques Attali come to fruition: the euro zone allow the bond issue, since it is not indebted to the outside. As is known, this is the main stumbling block in the negotiations with Germany and, today, the same Mario Draghi did not seem too convinced. Currently, economists agree on: the Japanese Central Bank has implemented an active policy to support the activity and work, while the European Central Bank remains focused on austerity policy, which also works: we are in recession ...
