Recommendation

As president of the European Central Bank from 2003 to 2011, Jean-Claude Trichet had a front row seat to the unravelling of Europe’s economy. His experience in that role, as well as in his current position at the helm of the Group of Thirty think tank, gives him a unique perspective on Europe’s recovery. Speaking to Rich Lesser of the Boston Consulting Group, Trichet warns that, while Europe has come a long way, governments shouldn’t become complacent. getAbstract recommends Trichet’s warnings to executives, investors and policy makers concerned about the euro zone’s future.

Summary

The world economy has recovered considerably from the global financial crisis. The global financial system is much more “resilient, robust and solid.” However, heralding an end to the crisis is premature. Many structural problems persist, particularly – but not only – in Europe. The advanced economies must strive to stabilize their financial infrastructures. One sign that the global financial system is still entrenched in crisis is the continued use of “nonstandard policies” by the central banks of Japan, Europe and America.
