In addition, a “European Marshall Plan” that provides investment in infrastructure, renewable energy, and energy efficiency is needed. Such an initiative would not only foster growth, but would also lower current-account deficits (because expensive fossil-energy imports could be reduced).
此外还需要制定能提升基础设施投资、可再生能源和能源效率的“欧洲马歇尔计划”。上述举措不仅能促进增长，还能降低经常账户赤字（因为可以减少昂贵的化石能源进口）。公共财政状况只能通过增长，而不是通过紧缩来巩固。
