Bank of France Governor Francois Villeroy de Galhau said a strong and stable German government is needed to strengthen Europe and to ensure the European Central Bank doesn’t have to fight crises on its own.

“We Europeans need a stable German government, we need a strong Germany and we also need some kind of German leadership,” Villeroy said in a panel discussion at the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland.
