The interest rates that countries like Italy and Spain have to pay today are only half as high as they were in 1995, before the conversion rates within the eurozone were set; likewise, interest-rate spreads vis-à-vis Germany today are only two-thirds of their size then.
Las tasas que pagan en la actualidad países como Italia y España son apenas la mitad de lo que eran en 1995, antes de que se establecieran los tipos de conversión dentro de la eurozona; del mismo modo, los diferenciales actuales respecto de Alemania son apenas dos tercios de lo que eran entonces.
