Economic decision-makers are more optimistic than two months ago. The main reason is the belief that the European Central Bank, under the shrewd leadership of Mario Draghi, has eliminated the risk of a financial implosion in the eurozone. As Mark Carney, the respected governor of the Bank of Canada and Mr Draghi’s successor at the Financial Stability Board, remarked at the World Economic Forum in Davos: “There is not going to be a Lehman-style event in Europe. That matters.”
經濟決策者眼下的情緒比兩個月前樂觀,這主要是因爲他們相信:歐洲央行(ECB)在馬里奧•德拉吉(Mario Draghi)的英明領導下,已經化解了歐元區出現金融崩盤的風險。正如倍受尊敬的加拿大央行(Bank of Canada)行長、德拉吉在金融穩定委員會(Financial Stability Board)的繼任者馬克•卡尼(Mark Carney)在達佛斯世界經濟論壇上所言:「歐洲將不會發生雷曼式的事件。這一點十分關鍵。」
