希腊成为史上首个拖欠IMF货款而违约的发达国家
关键字:希腊成为史上首个拖欠IMF货款而违约的发达国家
周二欧元区财长拒绝希腊要求紧急援助的请求,希腊未能向国际货币基金组织(简称IMF)偿还到期的约17亿欧元债务。这是IMF在70年历史中首次遭遇发达经济体违约的情况,以及单一违约规模最大的事件。
IMF发言人Gerry Rice在一份声明中证实,希腊政府未能在截止日前偿还欠款。该国违约债务正值希腊反紧缩政府和其债权人处于对峙局面之际,这种情况已将该国推向金融崩溃和潜在退出欧元区的边缘。
Rice表示,IMF已通知其执行董事会希腊正式处于违约状态,在还清欠款后才能再次获得IMF的资金。该组织表示,希腊所提延长原订周二到期的还款期限的请求,将在适当时机交由IMF的执行董事会表决。
从技术层面来说,IMF的董事中若有70%同意这项请求,IMF便能允许该国延后还款。不过,这家借款机构已表明,自1982年以来便不曾同意过此类延期,这次也不太可能对希腊破例。
希腊总理齐普拉斯向欧洲稳定机制(ESM)提出了两年的延长救助申请,以支付未来两年希腊所有的财政需求,包括债务重组计划。根据该提议,希腊希望新的援助计划帮助其支付2015-2017年间到期的291.5亿欧元的债务。这份由齐普拉斯签署的提案还要求延期现有的2450亿欧元的救援方案。但是,延伸和债务重组的要求遭到了欧元区财长的拒绝。
希腊历史性地成为IMF“欠债俱乐部”的首个发达国家,此前这一“俱乐部”成员只有苏丹、津巴布韦等最贫困国家。
在距离希腊纾困协议失效只有几小时的最后时刻,欧元区各国财长拒绝了希腊总理齐普拉斯有关延长纾困协议的呼吁,这让希腊在该国金融体系濒临崩溃之际失去了最后的救命稻草。
在一场仓促组织的电话会议中,欧元区各国财长也对齐普拉斯意外提出的第三轮纾困请求反应冷淡。周二,在发给欧元区5000亿欧元救助基金的信函中,齐普拉斯提出了291亿欧元的请求,这是希腊与国际债权人尖锐对峙的最新转折,让布鲁塞尔许多人感到意外。
一些欧洲官员不假思索地拒绝了这种呼吁,而其他人则猜测,齐普拉斯此举只是为了在本周日就先前纾困方案举行全民公投之前加强在国内的影响力。
