Although there are many explanations for the eurozone’s lagging recovery, it is clear that the overhang of both public and private debt looms large. The gross debts of households and financial institutions are higher today as a share of national income than they were before the financial crisis.
尽管关于欧元区的复苏迟缓存在许多解释，但显然公共和私人债务积压是很重要的原因。如今，家庭和金融机构总债务占国民收入的比重比金融危机前还要高。非金融企业债略有下降。而政府债务当然出现了剧增，这是拜银行援助和衰退导致税收收入猛降所赐。
