Such rates currently prevail in the eurozone, Switzerland, Denmark, and Sweden. And it is not just short-term policy rates that are now negative in nominal terms: about $3 trillion of assets in Europe and Japan, at maturities as long as ten years (in the case of Swiss government bonds), now have negative interest rates.
目前，欧元区、瑞士、丹麦和瑞典都实施了负名义利率。并且不但短期政策利率名义值为负：欧洲和日本大约有3万亿美元、期限长达十年的资产（如瑞士政府债券）如今的利率为负。
