Countries with weaker initial fiscal positions – such as Greece, the UK, Ireland, Spain, and Iceland – have been forced by the market to implement early fiscal consolidation. While that could be contractionary, the gain in fiscal-policy credibility might prevent a damaging spike in long-term government-bond yields.
财政初始状况不佳的国家，例如希腊、英国、爱尔兰、西班牙和冰岛已经在市场压力下，被迫早早实施了财政巩固政策。尽管那种政策的效果也是两面的，但财政政策借此可以重塑公信力，从而有助于避免长期国债收益过分走高，对经济造成打击。所以，较早引入财政巩固政策这个选项的说服力可能更大一些。
