"Madam President, in large part, the problem caused in Ireland by the banking and financial crisis can be traced to overpriced assets, particularly houses, but also other properties that banks loan money on. The European Central Bank has been enormously successful in controlling inflation in the European Union, other than asset inflation. For two and a half years, at every meeting of the Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee with the President of the Central Bank, I raised the question of what could be done to control asset inflation. Having low interest rates, where the interest rate is used as a method of controlling our inflation, is a very good instrument when used for lower interest rates or higher interest rates. The problem is that we ignore asset inflation. We have to find, under these new institutions, a way of bringing asset inflation into the calculations and of having an early warning system that deals with assets, particularly house price inflation, because this is at the centre of the problem in some of our countries and in my country in particular."@en1
