    the European Central Bank (ECB) should engage in a contractionary monetary policy

    Explanation:

    A contractionary monetary policy takes place when a central bank (or the Fed) reduces the money supply in order to cool down the economy, lower inflation rate or like in this case, wants to offset expansionary fiscal policy.

    The central bank initially raises the interest rates and starts selling more securities in order to absorb cash from the markets.
