    GERMANY'S Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble has warned of the dangers of an excessively easy monetary policy, and urged countries not to use foreign-exchange rates as an instrument to create growth.

    The known monetary hawk, in an interview with the German news agency DPA, said: "The road of too-easy money finally leads to misfortune. We have to get more stability back into the financial markets."
