As in the case of other aid programs, the equivalent of hundreds of billions of dollars has been transferred from richer economies to a much poorer one, with negative, if unintended, consequences. The rescue program designed to keep Greece from crashing out of the eurozone has raised the country’s debt-to-GDP ratio from 130% at the start of the crisis in 2009 to more than 170% today, with the International Monetary Fund predicting that the debt burden could reach 200% of GDP in the next two years.
与其他援助方案一样，价值数千亿美元的资金从较富裕经济体流向较平穷经济体，却引起了（也许是不经意的）消极后果。为了让希腊免于被踢出欧元区而设计的救援方案将希腊债务-GDP之比从2009年危机伊始时的130%增加到今天的170%以上，国际货币基金组织（IMF）预测未来两年可能达到200%。这一失控的债务螺旋有可能摧毁希腊的增长轨迹，让就业形势进一步恶化。
