Now it is the IMF’s turn, beginning with the decision to admit that the policies it has imposed for five long years created a disaster. For the other creditors, the toughest choice is to admit – as the IMF knows – that their Greek debts must be restructured.
布兰查德坚持认为现在是“做出艰难选择，也是双方做出艰难承诺”的时刻。诚然。但希腊人已经做出了艰难的选择。现在轮到了IMF，首先是决定承认其五年来所施加的政策制造了一场灾难。对其他债权人来说，最艰难的选择时承认——如IMF所知——他们的希腊债务必须重组。为失败政策组织新贷款——即当前的联合债权人方案——对他们来说根本不是调整。
