In fact, the latest forecast reflects an even worse outcome for France and Italy this year than originally promised, with France’s deficit set to increase slightly for 2015 and Italy’s cyclically adjusted deficit expected to deteriorate. The Stability and Growth Pact prescribes an annual improvement of at least 0.5 % of GDP.
事实上，最新预测表明法国和意大利今年的表现要比最初承诺的还要糟糕，法国赤字预计将在2015年略有增加，意大利的经周期调整的赤字还将进一步恶化。增长和稳定公约规定每年的改善幅度至少要达到GDP的0.5%。
