Will the eurozone survive Covid-19? If it does, it will be for the same two reasons it survived the financial crisis: fear of a ruinous break-up and action by the one institution able to do so on the scale needed. In July 2012, Mario Draghi told an audience in London: “Within our mandate, the ECB is ready to do whatever it takes to preserve the euro. And believe me, it will be enough.” The ECB is saying this now. It should be enough.
歐元區(qū)能挺過(guò)新型冠狀病毒肺炎(COVID-19,即2019冠狀病毒病)疫情嗎?如果能的話,那將還是因?yàn)樵屗^(guò)了金融危機(jī)的那兩個(gè)原因:對(duì)毀滅性解體的恐懼,以及一家機(jī)構(gòu)采取了足夠力度的行動(dòng)。2012年7月,馬里奧?德拉吉(Mario Draghi)在倫敦對(duì)聽眾表示:“在我們的授權(quán)范圍內(nèi),歐洲央行(ECB)準(zhǔn)備不惜一切代價(jià)保護(hù)歐元。相信我,措施的力度將足夠大。”歐洲央行現(xiàn)在正在這么說(shuō)。這應(yīng)該就夠了。
