帕特里克·范·奥斯特罗姆报道，荷兰央行行长奥拉夫·斯莱彭表示，荷兰需要控制政府支出。
By Patrick Van Oosterom The Netherlands needs to keep government spending in check, according to Dutch central bank chief Olaf Sleijpen.
他在接受公共广播公司NPO1采访时表示：“如果我们不采取行动，国家债务将会增加——我认为这不是正确的方向。”“进一步举债将极不负责任。这会将更多负担转嫁给后代，而且对抑制通胀也不利。”与欧洲其他国家一样，荷兰在预算问题上长期面临挑战。碎片化的议会和结构性增长的支出需求，往往使常规财政措施演变为旷日持久的谈判，从而对市场造成压力。
“The state debt, if we do nothing it will increase — and I don’t think that’s the way to go,” he told public broadcaster NPO1. “It would be highly irresponsible to borrow more. You defer more to future generations, and it’s also not good for inflation.” The Netherlands, like other European peers, faces a perennial struggle over budgets. Fragmented parliaments and structurally increasing spending demands often transform routine fiscal measures into matters for protracted negotiations that can weigh on markets.
斯莱彭在该台旗舰节目中表示：“不确定性太多，这对企业家不利，投资也在滞后。”“荷兰的增长率约为1%，这应该更高。我们需要解决氮污染、住房短缺和能源电网问题。”荷兰拥有欧元区较强的财政状况。2025年底，荷兰政府债务占国内生产总值的比例约为45%，大致是欧元区平均水平的一半，远低于欧盟60%的上限。
“There is so much uncertainty, which is not good for entrepreneurs, investments are lagging,” Sleijpen told the channel’s flagship program. “Growth in the Netherlands is about 1%, and that should be more. We need to solve nitrogen pollution, the housing shortage, the energy grid.” The Netherlands has one of the stronger fiscal positions in the euro area. Dutch government debt stood at about 45% of gross domestic product at the end of 2025, roughly half the euro-area average and well below the European Union’s 60% ceiling.
斯莱彭说：“我们周围的世界正变得更加冷酷和敌对。”“我们无法独自解决所有问题，但为应对未来冲击所做的最佳准备，就是管好自己家的账。”
“The world around us is getting more cold and hostile,” Sleijpen said. “We can’t all solve that, but the best preparation for shocks to come is to manage your own house well.”
