here is a recent interview with the former president of the ECB on the Euro and current crisis. Although it's done by Dutch  public TV , it's in English with Dutch subtitles. There is only a short introduction in Dutch language (<1min).

Announcement: There is a new chart section

Dear reader,

just a hint: today the new chart section of eurozoneremarks opened its gates ...

There is a new button in the middle of the horizontal navigation bar reading 'chart section NEW'. (Just below the big blog title 'Remarks on the eurozone')

So you can access this new section as well as the e.g. the opinion section from any blog entry you are currently reading here.

There might be some minor adjustments in this new section ahead but its structure and its content will remain unchanged. Some charts will be added later of course.
