Economic polarisation: ECB and EU likely to ‘fudge’ solution

With a wide divergence of economic performance within the eurozone, the European Central Bank (ECB) will have to perform a difficult balancing act. The main issue facing the ECB is how to deal with the needs of each economy when it comes to tapering the liquidity currently in place.

In this episode, IGTV’s Jeremy Naylor catches up with Marc Ostwald, chief economist and global strategist at ADM ISI, who says the inflation that Germany is facing may not be as extreme as some are suggesting. Nonetheless, Ostwald says the solution, when it is required, may be found in a balanced mix of fiscal and monetary actions.
