Several commentators have recently pointed to the challenging economic position of some eurozone countries as a factor that should – or will – influence the European Central Bank’s monetary policy decisions in the near future, irrespective of the risks to price stability in the eurozone as a whole. I strongly dispute this view, for two reasons. The ECB’s monetary policy will always take a eurozone perspective. This perspective must not only fit all; it also benefits all.
有幾位評論員最近指出,如果不考慮歐元區(qū)整體價格穩(wěn)定的風(fēng)險,某些歐元區(qū)成員國嚴(yán)峻的經(jīng)濟狀況,應(yīng)該(或?qū)┏蔀橛绊憵W洲央行(ECB)近期貨幣政策決定的一個因素。我強烈質(zhì)疑這種觀點,原因有兩點。歐洲央行制定貨幣政策時,總會從整個歐元區(qū)的角度出發(fā)。這種角度肯定不僅適用于所有歐元區(qū)國家,而且還會讓所有成員國受益。
