EUROPE:December 17th is Credit Day across Europe 欧洲：12月17日是欧洲贷款日 CreditDay was created by the Institut Économique Molinari to help the general publicachieve a better understanding of the national budget of each EU Member States. 贷款日由莫利纳里经济研究所创立，用于帮助公众更好地理解欧盟成员的国家预算。 Thisyear Credit Day for the European Union falls on the 17th of December. This isthe day which, on average, EU member states have spent their tax-based revenuesand start borrowing to meet their needs. Compared to 2019, this represents aone-day improvement, continuing the positive trend which began in 2018. 12月17日是今年的欧盟贷款日。通常，这一天是欧盟成员国收支出现赤字，开始贷款维持日常开支的日期。相比2019年，这个日期推后了一天，延续了2018年以来的向好趋势。 12EU member states display a budget surplus, while 16 do not have enough funds tocover the whole year of spending. Some states show a remarkable change, such asCyprus delaying its Credit Day considerably, while others remain relativelystable. Central governments bear the bulk of the deficit, while regional, localand social security administrations are generally stable in their surplus. 12个欧盟成员国实现预算盈余，但仍有16个国家收不抵支。部分国家取得了显著进展，如塞浦路斯大幅推后了贷款日，其他国家保持相对稳定。各国中央政府承担了大部分赤字，使得地方社会保障管理机构能普遍保持盈余。

The expectations are that the average debt-to-GDP ratio in theeurozone will increase by 16.7 percentage, and governments should make sure borrowingregimes in this period are responsible and temporary. 因2020年经济受到新冠疫情严重影响，宜谨慎对待现有数据。预计欧元区政府债务占国内生产总值平均比重将增长16.7%，政府应确保当前的贷款制度是审慎的临时应对之策。
