The experience of the recent eurozone crisis stands in sharp contrast to the Latin American debt crisis in the 1980s, when banks were not allowed to exit precipitously from their loans. If the new proposal is adopted, the IMF would conditionally refuse funds to countries carrying debt burdens that Fund staff determine are most likely unsustainable; creditors would first have to agree to a “reprofiling” of debt.
最近的欧元区危机与20世纪80年代的拉美危机形成了鲜明对比。在拉美危机中，银行不允许突然收回贷款。如果新方案被采用，国际货币进组织将有条件地拒绝将资金投入该组织所认定的债务负担最有可能无法持续下去的国家；债权人将第一次被迫同意债务的“重估”（reprofiling）。
