With respect to the United States, I welcome President Barack Obama’s recent proposals to address growth and employment; actions like more aggressive principal-reduction programs or helping homeowners to take advantage of low-interest rates would also help. And, in Europe, the sovereigns must address firmly their financing problems through credible fiscal consolidation.
纾解家庭和银行的压力也很重要。就美国而言，奥巴马总统最近提出了重振增长和就业的方案，此外还有更为积极的债务本金削减计划和协助屋主利用低利率的计划，这些计划都将有所助益，我对此十分欢迎。在欧洲，各国必须切实通过可信的财政整合解决各自的融资问题。此外，为了支持增长，银行必须持有充足的资本缓冲。
