Cypriot debt, we are told, will rise to 140% of GDP, but will fall to about 100% of GDP in less than a decade. This appears to be another replay of the Greek scenario, with targets for reducing the debt burden repeatedly missed, until more drastic steps become inevitable.
让这一错误雪上加霜的是没有任何让塞浦路斯走出下降螺旋的真正决策。我们被告知，塞浦路斯债务将升至GDP的140%，但会在十年内降至GDP的100%。这几乎是希腊情形的翻版，降低债务负担的目标一再无法达到，直到不得不施以猛药。
