目前,希腊外债总额高达4850亿美元,是GDP的1.6倍,人均负债4.4万欧元。表面上看,希腊债务危机的直接原因是长期存在财政赤字,国家入不敷出,“拿着士兵的工资,过的却是国王的生活”。但是,从深层次看,所有这些因素背后都存在腐败和政府治理不善问题。希腊前总理帕潘德里欧形容腐败是“希腊问题的症结所在”。英国《经济学家》杂志称,希腊国债是症状,腐败才是病因。“大众腐败”造成税收流失严重逃税是希腊全社会的普遍现象。根据希腊财政部的统计,全国90万人共拖欠税款近411亿欧元,占当前欧盟给希腊贷款援助总额的40%,其中5%的逃税者占总欠税额的85%,国有的希腊铁路公司以欠税12.6亿欧元名列榜首。 At present, the total foreign debt of Greece reaches as high as 485 billion U.S. dollars, 1.6 times of GDP and the per capita debt of 44,000 euros. On the surface, the direct cause of the Greek debt crisis is the long-standing fiscal deficit, the state can not make ends meet, “holding the wages of soldiers, but it is the life of the king ”. However, at a deeper level, all these factors are behind the problems of corruption and poor government governance. Former Greek Prime Minister Papandreou described corruption as “the crux of the Greek problem.” British “Economist” magazine said that the Greek government bonds is the symptom of corruption is the cause. “Mass corruption ” caused by tax losses Serious tax evasion is a common phenomenon in Greek society as a whole. According to the statistics of the Greek Ministry of Finance, the 900,000 people in the country owe a total of nearly 41.1 billion euros of tax arrears, accounting for 40% of the total amount of aid loans to Greece from the EU currently, of which 5% account for 85% of total tax arrears and the state-owned Greek Railways The company topped the tax by 1.26 billion euros.
