The old Bundesbank was laid to rest on September 6, when the ECB adopted its “outright monetary transactions” program – unlimited purchases of distressed eurozone countries’ government bonds –&nbsp;over the objections of a lone dissenter: Bundesbank President Jens Weidmann. And the undertaker was not ECB President Mario Draghi; it was German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
旧的德意志银行已经在9月6日归于沉寂，因为尽管德意志银行主席延斯·魏德曼（Jens Weidmann）一力反对，欧洲央行依然采取了其“完全货币交易”计划——可以无限制地购买欧元区危机国的政府债券。而埋葬旧德意志银行的不是欧洲央行主席马里奥·德拉吉（Mario Draghi），而是德国总理安吉拉·默克尔（Angela Merkel）。
