he European Central Bank can either bail out Italy or save its credibility in Germany. It will struggle to do both.
With inflation running at a 50-year high in Germany, 14% in the Netherlands, and 25% in Estonia, it is politically impossible to keep mopping up Italy's debt issuance under the guise of monetary policy. The euro's crash to dollar parity has been the last straw. The Bundesbank has lost patience.

Jan Nieuwenhuijs: What happened to the $650 billion in SDRs issued last year?
Submitted by admin on Sat, 2022-08-27 11:13 Section: Daily Dispatches11a ET Saturday, August 27, 2022

Rather, Nieuwenhuijs writes, the issuance of those SDRs was meant mainly to provide the IMF itself with some reason for being and to sustain the interest payments the agency receives from issuing SDRs.
