过去10年以来,欧元区内部失衡程度不断扩大,主要的表现就是一些国家的经常项目逆差和另外一部分国家的顺差呈颈项扩大趋势。根据各国经济模式特点,习惯上将欧元区主要国家分为两个区域:奥地利、芬兰、德国和荷兰等国称为北方欧洲;希腊、爱尔兰、葡萄牙和西班牙称为南方欧洲。 Over the past 10 years, the degree of imbalances in the euro area has been constantly expanding. The main manifestations are the current account deficit in some countries and the widening neck of the surplus in some other countries. According to the characteristics of each country’s economic model, the main countries in the euro area are traditionally divided into two regions: the countries of Northern Europe, Austria, Finland, Germany and the Netherlands; the southern part of Europe, as Greece, Ireland, Portugal and Spain.
