The "divergence" of economic performance and monetary policy among three of the world's most systemically important economies – the eurozone, Japan, and the United States – has added another layer of confusion for the rest of the world, with particularly significant implications for small, open economies. Indeed, the surprising actions taken by Singapore and Switzerland were a direct response to this divergence, as was Denmark's decision to halt all sales of government securities, in order to push interest rates lower and counter upward pressure on the krone.
世界上系统重要性最强的经济体——欧元区、日本和美国——经济表现和货币政策的“趋异”让世界其他地区更加摸不着头脑，特别是对小型开放型经济。事实上，新加坡和瑞士采取出人意料的动作也是对这一“趋异”的直接反应，丹麦亦然，其决定中止出售所有政府债券，以推低利率、抵抗克朗升值压力。
