Talk about money pumping.
The European Central Bank has pumped a record €442.2bn into the eurozone banking system in a first-ever offer of unlimited one-year funds.
Demand for the one year funds – offered at the ECB’s main policy rate of just 1 per cent – was obviously strong given that that ECB interest rates are not likely to fall any further. This was a big hand out to banks that are part of the ECB system.
Bernanke has tightened here short-term but the ECB is certainly not following in those foot steps/
