The paper aims to shed light on the role of communication in the European debt crisis. It examines
the effects of public statements by ECB Governing Council members, EU officials and national
representatives on the PIIGS' CDS and bond yield spreads. The focus lies on dovish statements that
signal strong determination in the rescue of indebted countries, and hawkish statements that
indicate limited commitment to support the PIIGS and protect its creditors. The analysis of daily
data for the period between January 1, 2009 and August 12, 2011 in an EGARCH framework
suggests that communication by representatives of Germany, France, and the EU as well as ECB
Governing Council members had an immediate impact on both types of securities. No effects.
