The disagreements within the ECB’s Governing Council also reveal the euro zone’s worrying heterogeneity

Klaas Knot, François Villeroy de Galhau, Jens Weidmann an d Sabine Lautenschläger have publicly expressed their disagreement with the latest measures announced by Mario Draghi, especially with the resumption of quantitative easing. Beyond "philosophical" differences (can the ECB buy government bonds, take the risk of excessive money creation, have negative interest rates while there is no risk of deflation, etc.), these disagreements within the ECB’s Governing Council reveal something more serious: euro-zone countries’ profound heterogeneity, especially the situation of the banking systems.
