(8) After issuing a paper about how to enhance the EFSF's firepower, Regling blamed the Greek political crisis for yesterday's difficulties in placing the €3bn bond and insisted that the problems had been exaggerated because German bonds are trading at their lowest yield for almost 50 years.

(17) City analysts are watching the succession battle closely, because the ECB faces a crucial decision about when to begin raising interest rates as recovery takes hold – a move that could be potentially devastating for fragile economies such as Ireland and Greece if it is taken too soon.Julian Callow, European economist at Barclays Capital, said that if Regling were to take over from Trichet, the ECB's stance could become slightly less hawkish, but he added: "The lesson of the ECB's history so far is that while the personnel may change, the institution has stuck firmly to its clearly defined mandate 'to maintain price stability'."
(18) One of the top candidates for Trichet's job now appears to be Klaus Regling, who has run the European Financial Stability Facility, the €750bn (£637bn) rescue fund that partly bankrolled the bailout of the Irish economy.
