ECB steps up bond buys; officials to meet
Juncker, Tremonti propose creation of European sovereign bonds |
MarketWatch - Dec. 6, 2010 - By Polya Lesova
LONDON (MarketWatch) — Euro-zone finance ministers prepared to meet in Brussels Monday as clear divisions emerged about the best way to contain the region’s debt crisis.
Different ideas made the rounds, including increasing the size of the emergency euro-zone rescue fund as well as launching European sovereign bonds.
Germany was quick to voice opposition to both proposals.
Data showed, meanwhile, that the European Central Bank stepped up purchases of government bonds last week.
Against this backdrop, the euro came under heavy selling pressure, dropping 1% to $1.3281. See Europe Markets column.
“Europe’s leaders want markets to understand the strength of their commitment to the survival of the euro, but are incapable of agreeing policies which would make that happen,” Societe Generale said in a note.
Euro-zone finance ministers are set to meet in Brussels starting at 5 p.m. local time on Monday. A press conference is scheduled for Monday evening following the meeting.
Meanwhile, Reuters reported that Dominique Strauss-Kahn, managing director of the International Monetary Fund, plans to urge European officials to increase the size of the 750-billion-euro ($997 billion) fund put in place to help debt-laden euro-zone nations.
Separately, two senior European officials proposed the launch of European sovereign bonds, or E-bonds, to be issued by a European Debt Agency in an effort to deliver a “strong and systemic response to the crisis.”
