Anybody locked in a room for long enough with Jean-Claude Juncker will eventually capitulate. If Angela Merkel is the euro’s banker, the prime minister of Luxembourg is its enforcer. The famously relentless Mr Juncker has triumphed once again. Greece’s international creditors have finally agreed measures to reduce its debt ratio to 124 per cent of gross domestic product by 2020 and to provide more financing. Time has been bought, cans have been kicked, as usual. Once again, though, the deal has not removed the possibility of a Greek exit from the eurozone.
任何人与让-克劳德·容克(Jean-Claude Juncker)锁在一间屋子里,只要时间够长,都会向他投降。如果说安格拉·默克尔(Angela Merkel)是欧元的银行家,那么这位卢森堡首相就是实施者了。以百折不挠著称的容克再次获胜。希腊的国际债权人终于同意通过采取一系列措施,使希腊债务与国内生产总值(GDP)的比例到2020年降至124%,并为该国提供更多融资。如同以往一样,这次又争取到了时间,换得了喘息之机。但是,这次协议还是不能排除希腊退出欧元区的可能性。
Forget the strings attached to the resumption of the bailout. The important thing is that if the debt ratio target is to be met, it will require a phenomenal economic turnround. Unfortunately, economic growth is the one thing that neither Mr Juncker nor anyone else – least of all the Greek government – has been able to deliver. Deutsche Bank estimates that the Greek economy in 2014 will be a fifth smaller than was envisaged by the International Monetary Fund in May 2010, when Athens got its first rescue package.
