希臘送交讓步提議 違約危機呈現轉機

Greece Athens kept alive hopes of an eleventh-hour deal with its creditors to avoid default yesterday after it presented its first substantial concessions in months of fruitless negotiations.

雅典方面昨日維持了希臘可能在最後時刻與債權人達成協議、從而避免違約的希望，此前在數月毫無成果的談判之後，希臘首次作出重大讓步。

The Greek government’s proposals came too late, and lacked sufficient detail, to allow a definitive agreement at an emergency summit of EU leaders yesterday evening. But eurozone leaders welcomed them as the basis for further talks later this week on a deal to unlock 7.2bn in desperately needed bailout cash.

然而，希臘政府的提議來得太遲，而且缺乏足夠的細節，以至於來不及在昨晚的歐盟領導人緊急峯會上達成明確協議。但是歐元區領導人對其表示歡迎，視其爲爲本週稍後就發放希臘亟需的72億歐元紓困資金舉行的進一步談判的基礎。

Donald Tusk, president of the European Council, said Athens had produced “its first real proposals in many weeks”, while Jeroen Dijsselbloem, who heads the eurogroup of finance ministers, called the new Greek submission “a positive step”.

歐洲理事會(European Council)主席唐納德•圖斯克(Donald Tusk)稱，雅典拿出了“其在數週以來的第一份真正的提議”，而歐元區財長集團主席杰倫•迪塞布洛姆(Jeroen Dijsselbloem)則將希臘的提議稱爲“積極的一步”。

Markets soared amid rising hopes of a breakthrough. The main Athens stock index closed up 9 per cent and Greek bank shares surged by more than20 per cent. The pan-European FTSE Eurofirst 300 index rose 2.4 per cent, while Athens’ 10-year implied borrowing costs fell150 basis points to 10.6 per cent. Yields on Italian, Portuguese and Spanish 10-year debt, which move inversely to prices, also eased.

隨着談判取得突破的希望上升，市場一路飆升。雅典主要股指收盤上漲9%，希臘銀行股漲幅超過20%。泛歐股指富時Eurofirst 300(FTSE Eurofirst 300)指數上漲2.4%，而雅典10年期隱含借貸成本下降150個基點，至10.6%。意大利、葡萄牙和西班牙的10年期國債收益率（與價格走勢相反）也有所降低。

His comments gave a boosted to the a rally in stocks and peripheral eurozone bonds.

歐元區外圍國家的債券和股市全面上漲。

But The Greek submission only arrived yesterday morning after Athens accidentally sent the wrong draft on Sunday night. Mr Dijsselbloem said it came too late for a comprehensive full assessment by Greece’s three bailout monitors that would have allowed for a deal to be reached. Another eurogroup meeting will be needed to finalise any dealagreement.

但是，希臘在週日晚提交了錯誤的版本後，昨日上午才姍姍來遲地提交正式提議。迪塞布洛姆稱，已經來不及由希臘紓困計劃的3個監督方對提議進行完備的全面評估，以達成協議。最終敲定任何協議還需要再舉行一個歐元集團(Eurogroup)會議。
