朔伊布勒警告世界有再次發生金融危機的風險
Wolfgang Sch?uble has warned that spiralling levels of global debt and liquidity present a major risk to the world economy, in his parting shot as Germany’s finance minister.
In an interview with the Financial Times, the Europhile who has steered one of the world’s largest economies for the past eight years, said there was a danger of “new bubbles” forming due to the trillions of dollars that central banks have pumped into markets.
在接受英國《金融時報》採訪時，這位在過去8年裏掌舵世界最大經濟體之一的堅定親歐人士表示，鑑於各大央行向市場注入了數萬億美元，目前存在形成“新泡沫”的危險。Mr Sch?uble also warned of risks to stability in the eurozone, particularly those posed by bank balance sheets burdened by the post-crisis legacy of non-performing loans.
朔伊布勒還警告了歐元區穩定面臨的風險、尤其是受到危機後遺留不良貸款拖累的銀行資產負債表所造成的風險。
A strong advocate of fiscal rectitude, Mr Sch?uble dominated Europe’s policy response to the eurozone debt crisis and has been vilified in countries such as Greece as an architect of austerity.
作爲一名強烈倡導財政紀律的人士，朔伊布勒主導了整個歐洲對歐元區債務危機的政策應對，並在希臘等國受到批評，被稱爲緊縮政策的設計師。But he will mainly be remembered as the most ardently pro-European politician in German chancellor Angela Merkel’s cabinet, skilled at selling the benefits of the euro and of deeper European integration to an oFTen sceptical German public.
但是，他將主要被銘記爲德國總理安格拉?默克爾(Angela Merkel)內閣中最堅定擁護歐盟事業的政治人物，擅長於向經常持懷疑態度的德國公衆推銷歐元以及推進歐洲一體化的好處。Mr Sch?uble told the FT that the Brexit vote last year had demonstrated how “foolish” it was to listen to “demagogues who say?.?.?.?we’re paying too much for Europe”.
朔伊布勒告訴英國《金融時報》，去年的英國退歐投票結果表明，傾聽“那些聲稱……我們對歐洲貢獻太多的煽動者”是多麼的“愚蠢”。“In that respect they made a great contribution to European integration,” he said. “Though in the short term that doesn’t really help Britain.”
“就此而言，他們對歐洲一體化做出了巨大貢獻，”他說，“不過從短期來看，這真的對英國沒有什麼幫助。”Mr Sch?uble is to move to a new job as Speaker of the German Bundestag.
朔伊布勒將出任德國聯邦議院(Bundestag)議長。
