The agreement continues to require primary budget surpluses (net of interest payments), rising to 3.5% of GDP by 2018, which will worsen Greece’s slump. Re-profiling the country’s debt, which is implicitly part of the agreement, will do nothing to ameliorate this, given that interest payments already are minimal through the end of the decade.
协议继续要求初级预算盈余（不含利息支付）到2018年增加至GDP的3.5%，这将恶化希腊衰退。重组希腊债务是协议的隐含内容，但它无法减轻负担，因为到2020年，利息支付都将是最小限度。随着萧条的深入，赤字目标将无法达成，引起进一步减支和经济收缩加速。
