  I just watched a very candid speech given yesterday by Draghi in U.of Helsinki. In the Q&A, Olli Rehn (and then again another guy) asked if ECB was going to “help” the EIB in implementing Juncker’s investment plan. His response was a (diplomatic) “no”! Sorry…

  Btw, most of the talk was at a very high level a blueprint for EZ governance, from the proverbial “horse’s mouth”. It sent a chill down my spine… As a questioner (didn’t catch his name) remarked, “this is a return to the 19th century”. It seems to me no amount of breakup pain is big enough to justify committing our lives to this sort of a currency union… Are you sure your heart is on the right side?
