controversy
In April 2000, Reckers attracted a lot of public attention when, in his capacity as President of the Hessische Landeszentralbank, he told specialist journalists: “In my opinion, Greece is by no means ripe for monetary union; accession has to be postponed by at least a year. ”A few minutes after agency reports, the Athens stock exchange plummeted, so that the Greek central bank was forced to protect the drachma from further losses with support purchases. Federal Finance Minister Hans Eichel called the then Bundesbank boss Ernst Welteke ; who in turn forbade Reckers to make further statements of this kind over the phone.
Reckers later said that all 15 members of the Bundesbank's board of directors were of the opinion at the time that Greece's entry into the euro zone was a mistake.
