Introduction
The main issue, which has been seen in the emerging economies, is that the growing inflation and the hurdle of the debt crises. Similar situation has also been faced by the European Economies. This is not the first time that these economies are facing this hurdle, because in the previous year also there were some loans taken by the European Central Bank in order to help these economies. However, the payment of these loans was a hurdle for the central bank. This issue has now become more critical due to the emerging technical issue in the European economies (Handl & Paterson, 2013).
All these have made the ECB to look into the matter of applying the QE. This paper would be covering the other core reasons sue to

This means that at the time of its implementation the ECB would be having proper guidelines and planning for the implication of the process and also key points that are required to be handled with care (Madhavani & Sachdeva, 2014).
This means that this is a high time for the ECB to take the action and adopt this policy rather than waiting for the other monetary policies to be failed and the economy is near its destruction. Since the ECB is working as a hub for the many nations which are connected and under the influence of the decisions which are taken by this central bank, here by, the ECB is required to be taking the decisions by considering all the nations, their issues and their priorities (Chong & Phillips,

Furthermore, with the help of the expansionary policy the proper amount required by the nations would be gained. Due to the presence of the equilibrium the Contractionary polices would be providing no harm to the binds that are bought by the Bank of these economies (Madhavani & Sachdeva, 2014).
Conclusion
This research provides with the idea that the situation of the European Economies is very critical and also they are at the risk of risk of debt crisis. Therefore, the ECB has no other choice than implementing the QE on the economies. The QE is subjected to be having both potential advantages and disadvantages to the economies on which it has been implemented. The advantages are more emphasised in this case because at the very moment the European economies are in a great deal need of the implementation of the QE.
After this, the Nash Equilibrium is introduced. This has been done in order to understand the current situation of the economies and the appropriate policy that should be applied to these economies. The results identified that the ministry of finance and central bank are having the chance a combination or mixture of policies on the European economies in order to control their recent
Quantitative easing is an unusual form of policy used when interest rates are near 0%. Banks rouse the nationwide financial system when usual monetary policies have become ineffective. In recent decades the government Central bank has argued they are the government’s most important financial agency.

For this discussion, it is useful to introduce the Performance Index (PI), a combination of GDP growth rates and unemployment rates (Tridico, 2015). Figure 3 (draft, decide on the graph format and ex- clude Japan) below illustrates the performance of the United States and European Union during the period 2007 to 2014, and as it can be seen from the graph, the policies implemented in the United States resulted in lower unemployment and GDP growth, paired with the willingness to increase decit and debt. In the Eurozone, the expansionary strategies implemented between 2007 and 2009 started to create growth in the economy in 2010, while the austerity measures to lower decit adopted after 2010 reverted the situation, creating higher unemployment and GDP stagnation. The trigger of the austerity measures was the Greek crisis, which brought to light that the EU member states are more concerned with national issues than EU integration during times of crisis (Frangakis 2010) and showed the fragilities of the Eurozone. The lack of coordination among member states on scal policy was remarkable, and the imbalances and divergences were wrongly addressed more as Mediterranean

Targeting interest rates that can directly control inflation. The monetary policy is one that quickly comes into play. Central banks are independent of the government and refrain from political influence. They can boost exports by merely weakening the currency. The benefits of the fiscal policy consist of direct spending to specific purposes, by using taxation they can discourage negative externalities, and have a shorter time lag. The potential costs of the policies can create budget deficits, having to spend tax incentives on imports, and may be motivated by politics.The use of the monetary policy runs the risk of hyperinflation, the time it takes for the effects to materialize, the technical limitations and the fact that financial tools affect the entire

After the global financial crisis, the economies of many countries were stagnant, some companies closed down, many people lost their jobs, and governments needed to spend much money to help these companies and unemployed people which caused large government debts, the banks also faced to bankrupt. All of these problems caused the governments wish the monetary policy can provide the solutions to recover the economy. The primary goal of monetary policy is to keep price stability which is very important for central banks, it could help central banks make the monetary policy process is apolitical and get

this essay I will be explaining why the Bank of England introduced a quantitative easing programme and how it operates as well as explaining the effect this programme has had by evaluating if it has been successful. My essay is in five sections: what is quantitative easing, when was it used and why, how does it work, impacts of the programme and finally has it been successful.

This gathering of governor was joined by leading academics, thought leaders, and commentators on monetary policy. The world of modern central banking and global finance had now entered a new phase of even more obvious artificiality and distortions. According to the author, Mohamed. El-Erian, “Ones whose skillful management of the price and quantity of money in an economy was key to containing inflation, promoting economic growth, and avoiding financial crises.” Since the global financial crisis of 2008, central bank has ventured, by necessity but not by the choice. They set the interest rates higher. For an unusually prolonged period, the central bank was bold policy experimentation. During that time, many of the economists thought that central banks had been forced to operate, and many of them wondered about it consequences. From the beginning of the financial crisis, there was the hope that courageous and responsive central banks would succeed in handing off the baton to high growth, robust job creation, price stability, and financial system. The world was in the process of grow out of its debts problems avoiding the debt defaults because the policy making entities were finally in the economic governance responsibilities and with the job returning and economic prosperity. The world changed in two important ways: one had to do with the analytics of central banking,
Between 2008 and 2009 global finance institutions such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund started to advocate for monetary measures that were anti-cyclical. The objective was to avoid a depression through combing fiscal and monetary policies as economic stimulus programs but aimed at ensuring social inclusive (Petkovski & Hristova, 2011). It is, therefore, arguable that the adoption of the measures proposed by the World Bank and IMF prevented the occurrence of depression which would have had catastrophic effects on the global
The recent recession lasting from 2007 until 2009, and the effects of which are still highly visible in the U.S. economy, led the Federal Reserve to use new and largely untested methods for protecting the country from a total financial collapse. The new strategy, which blurs the lines between monetary and fiscal policy, had been attempted only once before, and is open to criticism from several difference angles. This report documents the history, purpose, and controversy surrounding quantitative easing as a strategy to mitigate the effects of the recent recession. After considering these factors, the conclusion is drawn that quantitative easing was a modestly successful policy, yet one which should not be employed again. Although
In order to prevent the current crisis from deepening, immediate actions are required from the major industrial countries and from the international community. There is evidence that the world economy is experiencing a major slowdown, which may deepen if inadequately managed. For example, Japan is in its worst recession since the war, much of East and South-East Asia is in depression, Russia is experiencing a major downturn, growth has stalled in Latin America, and the prices of primary commodities and a number of manufactures are falling in international markets. Authorities in the industrial countries must nonetheless continue to be alert. Several downside risks still remain, and current policies may prove insufficient to prevent the world economy from slipping into recession. Expansionary fiscal policies may be required in other industrial economies, in addition to Japan. It is also crucial that the rules of an open international trading system should operate smoothly, allowing the economies that face adjustment to reduce their deficits or generate trade surpluses with the more vigorous industrial economies.
In September 2008, thousands of financial sectors all over the world went bankrupt like dominoes after the failure of Lehman Brothers Bank, which is also known as the Financial Crisis of 2008, caused the severe recession of the economies around the world. In order to help the country out of crisis, the central banks in different countries had to take measures to stimulate the growth of economy. The goal of this essay is to introduce the measures that Bank of England have taken in 2008 of financial crisis and will discuss the macroeconomics consequences and effects. Three measures taken by Bank of England will be presented in first section and how macroeconomics outcomes influenced by policies and objectives will be discussed in the second section.
