Moreover, the sources of finance do not necessarily determine how the funds are allocated, let alone how they are ultimately used. For example, although the so-called Tobin tax (a small levy on financial transactions) was originally intended to fund development assistance, a version of it was recently adopted in Europe in order to supplement national budget revenues.
此外，融资源并不能决定资金的配置，更不用说资金的最终用途了。比如，尽管所谓的托宾税（对金融交易收取少量税收）的初衷是为发展援助融资，但欧洲所实行的托宾税显然是为了补充国家预算收入。
