Re: Can the National Central Banks create Euros? (none / 0)
Migeru:
So, what happened in Ireland? Why was the Irish Central Bank unable to act as a lender of last resort for its banks, fording the Treasury to guarantee all their liabilities and create NAMA as a "bad bank" solution? And why couldn't the Irish Central Bank support the Irish treasury in the recapitalization of the Irish banks?
In other words, maybe this is not true necessarily...

Can the Eurozone National Central Banks create fiat Euros by themselves?

lender of last resort action involves the creation of "high-powered" or "base" money by the Central Bank
