Is this the correct graph to see the amount of money available? One thing I've never understood is how this amount goes down, does the central bank take it out of circulation? Or is it when the debt issued reaches maturity?

Couldnt they do that on purpose though? Actually, germany cant make the decision to print money, it has to be the whole eu, right?

yes indeed, the decision to monetize government debt is made by the ECB. but the path is clear, they make no exceptions, all new government debt is simply printed away. this works well until it no longer works well.

True. They will just print until its impossible to do. Soon the paper will be worth more than the note.
