An independent Scotland’s continued use of the British pound – the Scottish government’s official position – could be approached in two ways. The first possibility, which First Minister Alex Salmond appears to have in mind, would entail a monetary union under a central bank accountable both to Scotland and the rump UK.
如果苏格兰决定继续使用英镑——苏格兰政府的官方立场正是如此——那么可以有两种实现方式。第一种可能是第一部长萨尔蒙德（Alex Salmond）所构想的，即成立一个货币联盟，其中的央行同时对苏格兰和没有了苏格兰的英国负责。
