欧洲央行行长克里斯蒂娜·拉加德在泰国向来自世界各地负责预算的部长们发表讲话时，强调了健全公共财政的重要性。
Central Bank President Christine Lagarde stressed the importance of sound public finances when she addressed ministers in charge of budgets from around the world in Thailand.
在她向由全球财政部长和央行行长组成的国际货币金融委员会发表的声明中，她认为财政可持续性仍然是更广泛经济稳定的“关键锚点”。
In her statement to the International Monetary and Financial Committee that comprises global finance ministers and central bankers, she argued that fiscal sustainability remains a “crucial anchor” for broader economic stability.
“保持健全的财政政策很重要，包括遵守财政规则，以及在债务水平较高时进行整合、重新优先安排支出，并提升公共财政的效率和效果以重建缓冲区，”拉加德说，根据欧洲央行发布的文本。“各国政府应努力确保对能源冲击的任何财政应对是临时的、有针对性的和量身定制的。”她的言论是在泰国首都一周激烈辩论之后发表的，当时国际货币基金组织在那里举行年度会议。讨论聚焦于全球经济面临的风险，即债务水平上升、人工智能革命以及日益复杂的地缘政治。
“It is important to maintain sound fiscal policies, including by adhering to fiscal rules, and, where debt is high, to consolidate, re-prioritize spending and enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of public finances to rebuild buffers,” Lagarde said, according to a text published by the ECB. “Governments should strive to ensure that any fiscal response to the energy shock is temporary, targeted and tailored.”Her remarks come after a week of intense debate in the Thai capital, where the International Monetary Fund held its annual meetings. Discussions focused on the risks hanging over the global economy as it faces rising debt levels, an AI revolution and increasingly complicated geopolitics.
“回归以开放、可预测性和法治为基础的国际经济秩序将有助于贸易和投资蓬勃发展，”拉加德说。理事会成员奥利·雷恩在另一场活动中作出了类似承诺。
“A return to an international economic order grounded in openness, predictability and the rule of law would help trade and investment flourish,” Lagarde said. Governing Council member Olli Rehn made a similar pledge at a separate event.
“在地缘经济碎片化的时代，国际合作比以往任何时候都更加重要，”他在小组讨论中说。“对亚太地区和欧洲而言，一个开放的基于规则的贸易体系至关重要。”谈到欧元区经济时，拉加德重申了欧洲央行的最新分析，即经济前景的风险偏向下行，而通胀风险则指向上行。
“In a time of geo-economic fragmentation, international cooperation is more important than ever,” he said on a panel. “For both Asia-Pacific and for Europe, an open rules-based trading system is essential.”Turning to the euro-zone economy, Lagarde reiterated the ECB’s latest analysis that risks to the economic outlook are on the downside, while inflation risks are pointing upward.
“能源冲击太大，无法‘看穿’，但审慎的应对仍然适用，以控制通胀，”她说。雷恩表示，“货币政策将以稳健的方式行动，实现价格稳定，从而支撑可持续增长。”欧洲央行已在6月和9月两次加息，普遍预计将在年底再次加息。
“The energy shock is too large to ‘look through’ but a measured response remains appropriate to keep inflation in check,” she said. Rehn said “monetary policy will act with a steady hand, delivering price stability and thus supporting sustainable growth.”The ECB raised interest rates twice — in June and September — and is widely expected to deliver another hike at the end of the year.
拉加德还表示，超过30家央行对欧元体系的增强型回购设施表达了兴趣，该设施旨在支持货币政策的顺畅传导，并强化欧元的国际地位。
Lagarde also said that more than 30 central banks have expressed interest in the Eurosystem’s enhanced repo facility, which aims to support the smooth transmission of monetary policy and reinforces the international role of the euro.
