Equally problematic is Germany’s focus on maintaining a fiscal surplus. With projections for German GDP growth this year and next revised downward by more than 0.6 percentage points in the last few months, the government could be forced to initiate a pro-cyclical fiscal policy to achieve its goal, inducing even lower growth at home and throughout the eurozone.
同样有问题的是德国在维持财政盈余这个问题上的固执。由于对德国今明两年的GDP增长预测在过去几个月内下调了超过0.6%，可能迫使政府去启动一项扩大周期性的财政政策来实现自身的目标，导致本国和整个欧元区出现更低速增长。
