哥伦比亚副总统何塞·曼努埃尔·雷斯特雷波在接受当地杂志《周刊》采访时表示，如果国会未能批准一项财政调整法案，哥伦比亚将面临违约风险，并警告称，若无拟议措施，该国将陷入严重经济危机。
Colombia is at risk of default if Congress fails to approve a fiscal adjustment bill, Vice President José Manuel Restrepo said in an interview with local magazine Semana, warning that the country faces a severe economic crisis without the proposed measures.
雷斯特雷波说：“如果哥伦比亚今年年底前不能推进这项救助法案，明年该国将陷入违约。”他形容该立法对于恢复财政稳定、确保政府履行财务义务至关重要。
“If Colombia does not move forward with this rescue bill by the end of the year, the country will enter default next year,” Restrepo said, describing the legislation as essential to restoring fiscal stability and ensuring the government can meet its financial obligations.
在多年高公共支出和税收疲软之后，哥伦比亚面临严峻的财政前景。政府估计，若无财政调整，明年预算赤字可能超过国内生产总值的9%。
Colombia is staring down a challenging fiscal outlook after years of high public spending and weak tax revenue. The government estimates the budget deficit may exceed 9% of gross domestic product next year without a fiscal adjustment.
《经济救助法案》是阿贝拉多·德拉埃斯普里耶拉总统迄今最雄心勃勃的立法提案，将赋予政府削减或推迟低效支出、审查指定收入和专项基金、重组公共行政的工具。大部分调整来自增税及其他增加收入的措施。
The Economic Rescue Bill, President Abelardo de la Espriella’s most ambitious legislative proposal yet, would give the government tools to cut or postpone inefficient spending, review earmarked revenue and special funds, and reorganize the public administration. Most of the adjustment comes from raising taxes and other measures to raise revenue.
该法案早期遭遇反对，主要针对其拟议的增税条款，议员们辩称，随着经济压力加大，哥伦比亚人无法承担更重的税负。政府联盟在参议院中最大党派——民主中心党的成员表示，他们将支持削减开支和精简政府，但反对新税。
The bill faced early opposition, primarily over its proposed tax increases, with lawmakers contening that Colombians can’t afford a heavier tax burden as economic pressures mount. Members of the Democratic Center, the largest party of the government’s coalition in the Senate, have said they would support spending cuts and a smaller government but oppose new taxes.
雷斯特雷波表示，若无拟议调整，哥伦比亚可能面临衰退、通胀上升甚至恶性通胀。他还警告称，可能有超过100万人陷入贫困，政府可能难以为基本运作提供资金，包括拥有一份国家预算。
Without the proposed adjustment, Colombia may face a recession, rising inflation and potentially even hyperinflation, Restrepo said. He also warned that more than 1 million people may fall into poverty and that the government could struggle to finance basic operations, including having a national budget.
雷斯特雷波表示，该国面临 80 万亿至 90 万亿哥伦比亚比索（约合 250 亿美元）的融资缺口，强调解决政府财政状况的紧迫性。他表示，若无法通过该立法，将进一步削弱投资者信心，并威胁公共财政的可持续性。
The country faces a financing gap of between 80 trillion ($25 billion) and 90 trillion Colombian pesos, Restrepo said, highlighting the urgency of addressing the government’s fiscal position. Failure to pass the legislation would further undermine investor confidence and threaten the sustainability of public finances, he said.
政府上月以法令形式发布了 2027 年预算，将支出定在 635 万亿哥伦比亚比索，此举引发了投资者担忧。
The government issued the 2027 budget by decree last month, setting spending at 635 trillion Colombian pesos, a move that has raised concerns among investors.
“一种值得信赖的货币有两面：一面是财政调整，另一面是经济增长，”雷斯特雷波说。“我们要么自救，要么完蛋。没有其他选择。”
“A trusted currency has two sides: the side of fiscal adjustment and the side of economic growth,” Restrepo said. “We either save ourselves or we’re screwed. There are no other alternatives.”
