In the US, Fed chairman Ben Bernanke said that the economy is "significantly
stronger than it was four years ago" but is still "far from where" they all want
it to be. He said that "most of the world's major industrial economies are
engaged in expansionary monetary policy and overall that's mutually
constructive." Meanwhile, "resilience" of the US banking system has "greatly
improved" since the stress tests. He noted that the more intensive use and
greater sophistication of supervisory stress testing, as well as supervisors'
increased emphasis on the effectiveness of banks' own capital planning
processes, deserve credit."

In Europe, Spanish Prime Minister Rajoy urged European Central Bank
leaders consider whether the ECB should have the "same power" as other
central banks and give themselves the instruments that other countries have.
Rajoy was indeed referring to the fact that the Fed and Bank of England could
print money through quantitative easing and the Bank of Japan could
implement a huge monetary stimulus package. While the ECB still has a wide
range of tools, it must justify any unconventional measures by aligning them
with the single mandate of price stability. Portuguese Finance Minister
Gaspar said that the troika will "make an additional visit" after the
constitutional court rejected a number of austerity measures last week.
