The political test is likely to be felt on both the national and the European level. Financial protectionism is leading to national support for other industries as European governments realise they have to be seen to help not just the banks. Even the free-market Nordics are getting in on the act, with Sweden putting together a rescue package for its car industry. Like many of the rescues across Europe, it is focused on national priorities, with loans and guarantees providing the money is spent in Sweden.
这种政治考验可能在国家和欧洲层面上都能感觉到。金融保护主义正在导致国家对其它行业的援助,因为欧洲各国政府意识到,公众希望他们不仅是在救助银行。就连崇尚自由市场的北欧也参与了进来——瑞典为它的汽车业设计了一个救助方案。像欧洲范围内的许多救助一样,该方案侧重于本国的优先任务,贷款和担保提供的资金都被用在了瑞典国内。
