christine lagarde would have to live with the legacy of draghi behind her and developing new tools.et me cut to the chase, i think she needs to develop the instruments. i think the ecb should issue its own bond to help convert part of the debt of member states. instead of buying italian debt to issue its own bond that would be serviced by italy to cover the massive compliant part of the italian debt it is a radical new instrument imagine that could be a new safe asset. at the same time, this should be a massive program. she should push the council in the direction of giving the green light to issue a ward of bonds to provide the markets and the italian debt, german debt and dutch debt and so on >> coming back to the reform that the country would have to go through it still seems to me while we can throw a lot of money at it, when do you think or do you think christine lagarde is able to drive each european country so that in eight year's time you all kind of look the same. have the same taxation policies and fiscal policies of the welfare policies which we see at the moment >> that

the september move of ecb was all about creating some time of --l for christine lagarde for christineagarde. then she needs to win over those who have been opposing ecb policy of late which is an argument where she can bring in all of her experience as a previous policymaker and a french finance minister to win over people and build compromise. and to win over the public, which is quite difficult. i think christine lagarde is exactly the right person at this point in time to continue mario draghi's work and to build on this legacy. francine: what are you expecting from christine lagarde? we had a 30 minute conversation weeks ago. it's clear she also sees himself as a politician. what would you do differently? is it really trying to persuade politicians that they need to do more on fiscal spending? martin: it's both, but predominantly in the latter. policy as of monetary it's coming to the ecb having used most of its ammunition at the disposal is the need for using some of the fiscal space that exists. it will be the task of the ecb in ansuade policymakers intelligent combination with
