European Central Bank Hints at Bond-Buying Program

Europe has been experiencing low inflation lately, with levels as low as .5%.  This is becoming an issue and they are looking at ways in which they can increase inflation and lower the real cost of their debts.  One of the options they are considering is a quantitative easing program, and it is looking like they are ready to go through with it.  The European Central Bank is setting the goal to have 2% inflation by 2016.
