WASHINGTON, DC – The main financial risk facing the United States today looks very similar to what caused so much trouble in 2007-2008: big banks with too much debt and too little equity capital on their balance sheets. Uneven global regulations, not to mention regulators who fall asleep at the wheel, compound this structural vulnerability.
华盛顿—如今，美国所面临的主要金融风险与2007—2008年大麻烦的起因十分相似：大银行资产负债表上债务过多，股本过少。不平均的全球监管——甚至有些监管者对危险视而不见——进一步加剧了这一结构性弱点。
