20國財長討論歐債危機解決方案

The finance ministers of the world抯 20 biggest economies are meeting in Paris to try to resolve the European debt crisis that is threatening to push world economies into another recession.

The financial chiefs meeting Friday and Saturday are expected to consider several options that some leaders say could help stabilize the global financial markets and ease the debts of financially troubled Greece.

Some leaders have suggested that Greece抯 debts need to be substantially cut, effectively a default on its obligations. That could force investors holding Greek debt to assume much bigger losses than the 21 percent figure they already agreed to in approving a second Greek bailout in July, possibly to as much as 60 percent.

European leaders are pressing the continent's banks to sharply increase their cash reserves to cover possible losses on the debt they hold from Greece and other countries faced with burgeoning debt. Some think the lending capacity of the International Monetary Fund should be increased.來自世界20個最大經濟體的財政部長們聚集巴黎，試圖解決歐洲債務危機。歐債危機有可能將各大經濟體再次拖入衰退的危險。

參加星期五和星期六會議的財長們預計會就幾個方案進行討論。 一些領導人認爲，這些方案有助於穩定幾個星期以來陷入動盪的全球金融市場，並緩解債務纏身的希臘困境。

一些領導人建議，希臘必須大量削減債務，也就是不償還部分債務。但是，這將迫使希臘的債權人承受更大的損失，可能高達60%。歐洲國家在7月份批准給予希臘第二輪援助資金時，預計，投資者將蒙受21%的損失。

除此之外，一些歐洲領導人敦促歐洲銀行大幅提升現金準備量，來應對他們所持有的希臘和其他債務日漸擴大的國家債券可能出現的損失。還有一些人則認爲，國際貨幣資金組織應該加大借貸能力。
