LONDON – Germany has been leading the opposition in the European Union to any write-down of troubled eurozone members’ sovereign debt. Instead, it has agreed to establish bailout mechanisms such as the European Financial Stability Facility and the European Financial Stabilization Mechanism, which can lend up to €500 billion ($680 billion) combined, with the International Monetary Fund providing an additional €250 billion.
伦敦—— 对于欧盟减记受困欧元区成员国主权债务的方案，德国一直是反对阵营的领导者。与此相对的是，德国同意成立援助机构，比如欧洲金融稳定基金和欧洲金融稳定机构，这两大机构加起来有5 000亿欧元的贷款额度，另外，IMF也提供了2 500亿欧元。
