Both countries are seeking to create a longer, more manageable repayment profile for their privately-held debt as they begin weaning themselves from dependence on official “bailout” funds provided by the “troika” (the European Commission, the European Central Bank, and the International Monetary Fund). Private investors are acknowledging the reality that repayments will likely be drawn out, because insisting on existing terms could cause an untenable bunching of debt-service payments, with possibly unpleasant consequences.
这些交易凸显了赢取时间的更大战略。为了不再依赖“三驾马车”（欧洲委员会、欧洲央行和IMF）所提供的正式“援助”资金，两国均在寻求为其握于私人手中的债务创造更长期、更便于管理的偿付结构。私人投资者也承认了偿还其可能会被拉长的现实，因为坚持按现有条款偿付将导致不可持续的债务偿付压力，造成不利的后果。
