There are many advantages to having an independent central bank run by professionals who can keep their distance from politicians. But when the people at the apex of these institutions insist that the crisis response went well, and that everything will be fine, even as the financial behemoths that caused the crisis lumber forward, their credibility inevitably suffers.
如能有一个由远离政界的专业人士来运作的独立中央银行，那是有许多好处的。但当掌管这些金融机构的人都坚持自己在危机中做得很好，宣称所有问题都会解决，放任那些引发危机的金融巨鳄们逍遥法外，那么他们的公信力也将不可避免地受到损害。
