German Buba President Weidmann: Central banks should interpret mandates narrowly

  • The euro zone has not yet been made crisis proof, so the ECB is still at risk of having to function as a crisis-response unit, a risk to its independence

  • Certain issues like the lack of credibility of fiscal rules or the harmful sovereign-bank nexus still have to be adequately addressed

  • fighting crises forces unelected central bankers to take political decision, which are difficult to square with democratic principles and may go beyond banks' narrowly defined mandate.

  • Acting beyond the mandate would also undermine people’s trust in the central bank

  • At the end of the day, it could become more and more difficult for the ECB to focus on its promise of a stable currency
