The bailout fund will takes its place alongside plans by the European Central Bank to buy unlimited amounts of short-term government bonds issued by troubled countries. ‘This is a good day for Germany and it is a good day for Europe,’ said Chancellor Angela Merkel. The ESM wouldn’t have been able to start work without Germany, its No. 1 contributor.”
