Moreover, not forbidding indirect purchases should be seen primarily as a means of permitting banks that buy government bonds to pledge them as collateral for refinancing operations, while bearing the full investment risk. The distinction between bond purchases from the government and from the banks that bought them from the government is a phony one that gives rise to myriad possibilities for circumvention.

The ECB directed the central banks of all Eurozone members to buy huge quantities of Italian government bonds during the crisis. While the national central banks have not revealed how much they bought, the aggregate stock of all government bonds purchased rose from 74 billion ( 102 billion) on August 4, to 165 billion this month.

Before January, this sequence of events was quite likely, but the ECB s bond buying program put a firebreak at each point of the contagion process. If holders of Portuguese bonds are alarmed by a future Greek default, the ECB will simply increase its bond buying with no limit to its buying power, it will easily overwhelm any selling pressure.

Proponents of OMT counter that the Treaty forbids only direct government bond purchases indirect purchases in secondary markets are allowed. But the decision not to prohibit indirect purchases, opponents argue, may have been intended to allow the ECB to carry out weekly repo operations, following a practice used by the Banque de France to reduce fluctuations in short term interest rates.

In accordance with United Nations system accounting standards, non expendable property purchased with UNHCR voluntary funds is not recorded on the balance sheet, but is charged as expenditure to the appropriate project in the year of acquisition.

The ECB has already attempted to ease credit conditions by purchasing high quality asset backed securities. It has bought securities backed by cash flows from private sector mortgages, so called covered bonds, and it has floated the idea of buying corporate bonds and multilateral securities issued by the European Investment Bank.

In addition, the ECB could purchase EIB bonds on secondary markets, which would help to keep funding costs low or even reduce them. More important, purchases of EIB bonds would enable the ECB to undertake quantitative easing without triggering the degree of controversy implied by intervening in 18 separate sovereign bond markets, where concerns that ECB purchases would affect the relative pricing of sovereigns are very real.

Every year, 260 tons of cocaine and 13 tons of heroine were consumed, while 36 billion were spent on cocaine, 11 billion on marihuana, 10 billion on heroine and over 5 billion on methamphetamines.

In 2008, on the eve of the crisis, three quarters of Portuguese debt, one half of Spanish and Greek debt, and more than two fifths of Italian debt was held by foreigners, with foreign banks holding a significant proportion, especially in the case of Greece, Portugal, and Italy. One consequence of the ECB s large scale long term refinancing operation (LTRO) has been that Italian banks are once again buying Italian government bonds, and Spanish banks are buying Spanish bonds.

As the trade of developing countries expands via the use of trade preferences, their purchasing power also increases, which can then be used inter alia to purchase imported goods from developed countries.

Under QE, the Federal Reserve buys and announces that it will buy assets the only difference is that these assets are longer maturity US government debt instruments and mortgage backed securities of various kinds, all denominated in US dollars.

But QE would present a problem for the ECB that the Fed and other central banks do not face. The eurozone has no centrally issued and traded Eurobond that the central bank could buy.
