There was a broad consensus that monetary policy cannot create long-term growth and that governments need to step up their efforts to strengthen the growth prospects.
Another tempting, but rarely fruitful response is to blame the whole sorry affair on external factors which only someone else can do anything about, and to then ask that someone to do something to make the problem go away. Unfortunately, this is a response I have seen all too often in the debates on the situation of the European banking sector.
