Though of course none of the research has any experience of long periods of near zero interest rates, quantitative easing etc and certainly not the unwinding of said conditions.

Well, they're not offering them those all-time high CETVs because DB trustees have been overcome by the spirit of generosity.

I've been reading a few articles and one of the worries people are citing is EU growth only being propped up by ECB's QE. The question is what happens when it stops or will it ever stop? The UK is also in the same position but I don't believe the level of QE is of the same scale as that of EU.

Any thoughts on this?
