Within the eurozone, where until recently external accounts were nearly balanced, a similar creditor/debtor spectrum has emerged, with Germany and the Netherlands at one end, and much of the eurozone south at the other. This partly explains both the hostile stance toward QE adopted in the German financial press and the over-indebted periphery countries’ increasingly desperate calls for more action by the ECB.
在欧元区内部，直到最近其外部账户都保持接近平衡的状态，最近则出现了类似的债权国/债务国问题，德国和荷兰处于一端，大部分欧元区南部国家处于另一端。这部分解释了德国财经媒体对QE的敌对立场，而过度负债的外围国声嘶力竭地呼吁欧洲央行采取更多行动。
