Veteran European Central Bank policymaker Ewald Nowotny has backed turning the European Stability Mechanism (ESM) into a IMF-styled lender and for it to take over from the ECB in Greece`s bailout programme.

"(The) ESM might turn into a `European Monetary Fund`, and I think that makes a lot of sense," Nowotny, one of the longest-serving members of the ECB`s Governing Council, said on Friday.

This would show "a rich part of the world is able to solve imbalances by themselves," while the set-up might also allow the ECB to end its formal role in euro zone bailout, something it has received public criticism for.

"We are having a discussion on this," Nowotny said. "We don`t have specific knowledge of the pension system in Greece... If we have the ESM as a specialised institution and we concentrate all these kind of surveillance tasks in the ESM. I think it will be much better."

Nowotny also said Britain`s decision to leave the European Union meant it would no longer be part of the integration dynamic across the European Union.

"You can survive as a single country, but one has to be aware it is costly, and in a multilateral world, to have a standalone strategy is something a small country can do, like Switzerland," he said, speaking at an event organised by the policy think-tank OMFIF.

"But in the case of Switzerland it means a lot of additional measures," he said, highlighting the way the Swiss National Bank has had to intervene heavily in currency markets on its own.
