Monday was groundhog day in the eurozone. A year after the European Union and the International Monetary Fund unveiled a €110bn rescue package for Greece, the country is again at the top of the crisis agenda. The bail-out has not eased Greece’s economic problems while exacerbating its indebtedness problem; the country’s re-entry to the debt markets as a sovereign borrower early next year, envisaged in the bail-out plan, looks impossible. The eurozone had a choice at an emergency weekend meeting. It could expand the bail-out or allow Athens to restructure. It chose the first option. The second cannot be avoided for much longer.
周一是欧元区的“土拨鼠日”（groundhog day，北美习俗，根据当日土拨鼠的表现预测春天是否提前到来——译者注）。在欧盟(EU)与国际货币基金组织(IMF)公布1100亿欧元希腊救助计划的一年之后，希腊再次成为首要危机议题。纾困行动未能缓解希腊的manbetx20客户端下载 困境，同时加剧了其债务问题；纾困计划中的设想——希腊将在明年初重新以主权债务人的身份进入债券市场——似乎已不可能实现。欧元区在周末的紧急会议中做出了选择。要么为纾困计划延期，要么允许希腊进行债务重组。它选择了前者。但用不了多久，后一种解决便不可避免。
