希腊评级下调 市场担忧欧债危机再恶化

评级公司标准普尔公司(Standard & Poor's Corp) 下调了将希腊政府的债务。标准普尔公司认为希腊的债务有继续增长的可能,不得不重新调整其债务后才将其信用评级下调。我们的经济记者Andrew Walker报道。
The Greek government’s financial problems are getting worse. At the weekend, a senior euro area official acknowledged that Greece is likely to need further help. Without it, Greece would have to go back to the market to borrow next year. It might be impossible. And even if there were willing lenders, the interest rates would be painfully high. In the market, it is increasingly thought that Greece will, in effect, default on some of its debts at some stage. Agreeing further help for Greece will be very challenging. There’s widespread public hostility to the bailout in other parts of the euro area.
希腊政府的财政问题日益恶化。上周末,欧元区的一名高级官员承认,希腊可能需要进一步的援助。如果得不到进一步的援助,希腊将在明年不得不回到市场上开始借款。对于希腊来说,这将可能是难以忍受的。即使有国家愿意将款贷给希腊,利率将是非常之高。在市场上,越来越多的国家认为,希腊将会在还款时违约。同意为希腊提供进一步的援助将是非常具有挑战性的。现在,公众普遍的非常敌视为欧元区的其他地区提供援助。
