2. ASHMORE INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT, FORMER HEAD OF RESEARCH, JEROME BOOTH, SAYING:

'I think he will deliver and its very important because its another move by the euro zone to use monetary policy instead of Fiscal policy to make the adjustment required. This isn't really going to do more than, you know, give us some more time. We've got now seven years after the problems started in the States, we've still got you know really a second rate policy response to the problems in Europe, in particular. We do not have better regulations yet required to prevent another Lehman style event. We've got a euro zone which is clearly completely dysfunctional and you will either have to break up the euro zone and start again which is very traumatic or of course you need to have a proper fiscal union and there's just simply not the appetite. There is even- There's not even the appetite for the surplus countries most particularly Germany to realise that surplus is the flip side of the deficit. You can't have an inflation which is acceptable to Germany and deflation in the southern European countries, which is unacceptable and then expect some sort of simple monetary tool will solve the problem. So it does give us time, it is important. It will mean a weaker euro of course and hopefully that will create some greater competitiveness but what is also the case is that it will create more strains within the system and we are potentially going to see much more quantitative easing once it's started.'

4. ASHMORE INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT, FORMER HEAD OF RESEARCH, JEROME BOOTH, SAYING:

'Well- its certainly possible. I think both countries are likely to grow very fast. I've personally been investing a lot of money in India, in the telecom sector and I think we are going to see a big renaissance in growth in India. We have a huge bottle neck in terms of infrastructure. There is been a lack of investment over the last years since the- We've had a new central bank governor Rajan and a new government obviously under Modi and I think now if the government can deliver on its promises to un-free the bottle necks, to focus investment on education, on digital India, on infrastructure, we are going to see higher rates of growth yes.'
