The risky task of relaunching Japan

The question is whether inflation can be achieved and managed

File picture shows a huge Euro logo in front of the headquarters of the European Central Bank (ECB) in Frankfurt, September 29, 2011. A bumper return of 3-year loans to the ECB would boost the case for it exiting crisis mode, a top Bundesbank official said ahead of February 22, 2013 news on how much banks will hand back at a repayment window next week. The ECB lent banks a total of more than 1 trillion euros ($1.32 trillion) in twin 3-year, ultra-cheap lending operations in December 2011 and February 2012 - a ploy that ECB President Mario Draghi said "avoided a major, major credit crunch".
