Following on from earlier comments by ECB Ordonez his colleague [WEBER] is out on the wires saying that the situation in money markets are still tense but volatility and spreads are lower. Weber said a continued lack of trust between market participants was at the heart of the problem. Perhaps too forward looking, ECB policy Weber adds that the ECB must raise rates quickly when crisis is over. He added that the ECB, which is lending banks unlimited funds at fixed interest rates had become the central counterparty in money markets but one day its intervention would have to be reduced to a 'normal' level, saying that 'this situation cannot continue in the long run'. Weber notes that the financial crisis required far fetching state intervention, that there is 'no alternative to govt stimulus packages' but that it was wrong to think that markets were completely ruined.
