ECB’s Praet Says Trust in Currency Can ’Quickly Evaporate’ - Bloomberg


European Central Bank Executive Board member Peter Praet said a currency can’t function without trust.
“We have to draw the lessons of history,” he said today in a speech in Frankfurt. “Trust in a currency can quickly evaporate.”
In a crisis situation a central bank mandated to ensure price stability has to “promptly and decisively resist the shortage of liquidity,” he said. “An expanded central bank liquidity buffer is non-inflationary under these conditions.”
