In exchange for its financial support, the IMF typically requires countries to address the imbalances that caused their problems, not only so that they can repay the money, but also for their own good, so that they can restore their creditworthiness (and hence their access to capital markets). But it is too easy to confuse the pain caused by the crisis itself with that caused by the remedy.
作为金融支持的交换，IMF通常要求各国解决导致问题发生的失衡，这样它们不仅能够偿还IMF贷款，对其自身也有好处——它们可以重新获得信誉（从而得以进入资本市场）。但这样就太容易了，根本不会混淆危机本身带来的痛苦和解决危机的办法带来的痛苦。
