欧洲央行行长克里斯蒂娜·拉加德周三表示，法国应通过财政政策紧缩来解决自身的债务问题，实际上是在淡化市场对欧洲央行可能干预债券市场的猜测。
France should solve its own debt woes through fiscal policy consolidation, European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde said on Wednesday, effectively playing down speculation about an ECB intervention in the bond market.
法国政府债券是全球抛售潮中受冲击最严重的品种之一，投资者担心，明年总统大选前的政治角力可能会阻碍政府减少高额赤字的努力。
French government bonds have been among the worst hit by a global selloff, with investors concerned that political jostling ahead of next year's presidential election may hinder the government's efforts to reduce its high deficit.
当被问及欧洲央行是否即将援助法国时，拉加德表示，这取决于巴黎本身来安抚投资者的神经。
Asked whether the ECB was about to help France, Lagarde said it was up to Paris to soothe investors' nerves.
她说：“有些特殊情况导致某些国家受到更大影响，法国就是一个典型例子。而对于这种情况，首要且第一个解决方案在于法国国内，这与财政政策有关。”
"There are particular circumstances that lead to some countries being more affected, France being a case in point," she told a CNN event in Bangkok. "And for that one, the primary and first solution lies at home in France.
数周来，分析师一直在猜测欧洲央行是否可能通过被称为传输保护工具的危机应对工具开始购买法国国债。
And it has to do with fiscal policies." Analysts have been speculating for weeks about whether the ECB might start buying French bonds via a crisis-fighting tool known as the Transmission Protection Instrument.
该工具可在一个国家面临市场压力时启动，前提是欧洲央行认为这种压力是“不合理的”、“无序的”，并威胁到欧元区各地央行利率的传导机制。
This can be activated if a country is under market pressure that the ECB deems "unwarranted", "disorderly" and threatening the transmission of the central bank's interest rates to all corners of the euro zone.
被问及货币政策时，拉加德表示，欧元区当前的高通胀主要但并非完全是由伊朗战争导致的能源价格飙升所驱动的。
Asked about monetary policy, Lagarde said the current, high rate of inflation in the euro zone had been driven "predominantly, but not exclusively" by a surge in energy prices caused by the Iran war.
尽管目前尚未出现对其他价格的“第二轮效应”迹象，但欧洲央行将寻找诸如工会在工资谈判中的诉求等“线索”。
While there was no sign yet of "second-round effects" on other prices, the ECB would be looking for "hints", such as trade unions' demands in wage negotiations.
她在国际货币基金组织和世界银行年会期间在泰国首都举行的活动上表示：“我们不能等到这些影响完全显现出来才行动，但我们可以提前预判。因此，我们会非常仔细地关注这些切入点。”欧洲央行过去四个月已经两次加息，并预计将在12月再次加息。
"We cannot wait until they're there in full view, but we can anticipate," she said at the event on the sidelines of the annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank in the Thai capital. "So we very carefully follow those entry points." The ECB has raised rates twice in the past four months and is expected to do so again in December.
拉加德表示，国际货币基金组织预计今年欧元区GDP将增长1.1%，这“并不出色”，但也“并非糟糕的结果”，并指出德国政府在基础设施和军事方面的支出将继续提供支持。
Lagarde said the 1.1% increase in GDP expected by the IMF for the euro zone this year was "not brilliant" but "not a bad outcome" either and flagged continued support from German government spending on infrastructure and the military.
