'The countdown' of reasons to be positive heading into 2012: Number 2


Throughout 2011, German chancellor Angela Merkel has stood firm in not permitting the Eurozone central bank to pool and monetize the European debt. Although this has proved Merkel to have a strong backbone as well as be a good strategic leader it has done nothing to help the EU dept crisis. In 2012, this could change with many believing that Merkel may relax her policy.
Will she crack?
If Merkel were to relax her policy the European central bank would be able to flood the market with newly minted euro’s which would help to decrease the cost of the sovereign debt of all the Eurozone countries. This in turn should hopefully lead to a rally in equities and commodities and cause an upturn for both the European and UK economy.
Although, Merkel maintains her stance that she will not allow the European central bank to monetise the dept crisis, I personally believe that she will crack. If this happens the EU should find itself in a far stronger position by this time next year.
