Sterling has joined the dollar as one of the biggest casualties of the credit crisis. 英镑与美元一道,成为此次信贷危机中伤亡最惨重的货币之一。
Sterling strengthened significantly, but this was accompanied by growing problems: looser lending conditions, narrowing credit spreads and booming house prices on the one hand; and an increasingly unbalanced real economy on the other. 英镑大幅升值,但随之而来的是越来越多的问题:一方面是更为宽松的放贷条件、不断缩小的信贷息差和不断上涨的房价,另一方面则是日趋失衡的实体经济。
