Draghi effect
The Draghi Effect describes the reaction of the financial markets to a statement made by Mario Draghi, head of the European Central Bank , in a free speech in London on July 26, 2012:
“Within our mandate, the ECB is ready to do whatever it takes to preserve the euro. And believe me, it will be enough. "
“As part of our mandate, the ECB is ready to do whatever is necessary to preserve the euro. And believe me, it will be enough. "

The financial markets, unsettled by the euro crisis , then calmed down. They rightly expected that the ECB would buy up government bonds from crisis countries if necessary. The term is also common in English .
The words Draghi, especially his Whatever it takes , became a political catchphrase.
