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.
任何人與讓-克勞德?容克(Jean-Claude Juncker)鎖在一間屋子里,只要時間夠長,都會向他投降。如果說安格拉?默克爾(Angela Merkel)是歐元的銀行家,那么這位盧森堡首相就是實施者了。以百折不撓著稱的容克再次獲勝。希臘的國際債權人終于同意通過采取一系列措施,使希臘債務與國內生產總值(GDP)的比例到2020年降至124%,并為該國提供更多融資。如同以往一樣,這次又爭取到了時間,換得了喘息之機。但是,這次協議還是不能排除希臘退出歐元區的可能性。
