He said the limited range of quantitative easing is poles apart from even a rudimentary form of Eurobonds which seems increasingly necessary to defend the euro zone ahead of major challenges which threaten it. "In simple terms, it is obvious to the naked eye that it is unrealistic to expect that in this form, QE is able to effectively address the existing and constantly increasing debt crisis within the Eurozone and its multiple negative implications.
