Here's WaPo telling us what a difficult challenge this will be for Super Mario (but hinting he is the man to do the job).:
The future of Europe will soon be in the hands of a dapper, 63-year-old Italian economist with a name reminiscent of a James Bond villain and with long experience in the delicate art of economic diplomacy.Puhleez, the man knows how to talk elitist code and get himself into powerful positions, beginning and end of story. He will only stay there as long as he serves the banksters.
Mario Draghi is set to take office as president of the European Central Bank in November, making him, along with the Federal Reserve’s Ben S. Bernanke, one of the world’s two most powerful central bankers. He is inheriting an extraordinarily difficult situation, taking control in the midst of a debt crisis, with little time to learn on the job.
The European media refers to Draghi as “Super Mario” for his energetic style. The question is whether he can live up to the nickname...
Draghi has won respect among central bankers on both sides of the Atlantic, who view him as a thoughtful participant in international discussions with a knack for guiding groups toward agreement.
