Indeed, the European Commission estimates that its proposed tax of only 0.1% on stock and bond trades, and 0.01% tax on derivatives, will raise more than €50 billion per year. As a bonus, an FTT will curb destabilizing speculation in financial markets.
说真的，按照欧盟委员会的估计，仅按它所酝酿的税率——股票和债券交易的0.1%、衍生品交易的0.01%，有关财政每年便可增加500亿欧元进项。金融交易税还能顺便遏制一下威胁金融市场稳定的投机行为，何乐而不为呢？
