But at least Trichet and the ECB still keep an eye on M3, which reflects more what banks do than how wages behave.

As I wrote on the dKos thread, the tragedy of our times is that inflation has now exclusively become 'wage inflation'. Trichet was pilloried for mentioning asset bubbles and not dropping M3.

Keep an eye, but that's about it.

The only thing the ECB acts upon is rasing wages.

That's called lip service...

M3 has been out of target by a factor of around two since the creation of ECB (IIRC).
