Though the Fed has now decided to keep its policy rate ‎unchanged, it also stated that a rate hike is still on the table for 2015. The concern is that countries that are dependent on foreign financing could be hit by sudden outflows of international capital, or that currency depreciation following the Fed hike could raise debt-servicing costs for countries and businesses.
发自马尼拉——美联储可能在近十年来首次加息的消息让一批新兴市场国家连续几周不得安宁。虽然美联储已经决定维持政策利率不变，但表示加息仍在2015年的日程上。值得关注的是，依赖外国资金的国家可能会受到国际资本突然外流的冲击，或者说美联储加息后的货币贬值可能会提高各国和企业的偿债成本。
