Jens Weidmann is head of the central bank of Germany and a big fish at the European Central Bank
Weidmann was in Spanish newspaper El Mundo over the weekend:
- "The prospects for the evolution of prices correspond to a return of inflation to a level sufficient to maintain the stability of prices. For this reason, in my opinion, it would be justifiable to put a clear end to the buying of debt bonds by establishing a concrete date (for ending the program)"
(bolding mine)
The ECB is edging towards less policy accommodation, but Weidmann will be pushing for that to happen more quickly, the Germans tend to be a little on the hawkish side.
