The sensible middle position would surely be an agreed write-off of a portion of the outstanding Greek debt, combined with a five-year moratorium on interest payments on the remainder. This would immediately relieve pressure on Greece’s budget and give its government the time and incentive to put the country’s economy in order.
而明智的折衷方式则是一方面同意减免一部分希腊超额债务，另一方面则在备忘录中加上将利息支付延后五年的条款。此举将迅速缓解希腊所面对的预算压力，也为其政府提供了足够的时间和激励因素去重整国家经济。
