Euro Bonds: Angela Merkel Repeats Her Refusal

However, Merkel did leave the door for a possible change in policy in the future, admitting that perhaps “in the distant future we will need to adapt” to changes in the financial markets.

 

The German Minister of Economy, Philip Rösler, from the Liberal Party (FDP), also reaffirmed his opposition to Euro bonds, announcing, “There will be no Euro bond created under my government.” The German Economic Minister was quoted by a German newspaper on Sunday as saying that “the Euro bonds are a poor signal sent to failing national economies.”
