财政部长宣称波兰仍未做好加入欧元区的准备

加入欧盟（EU）二十年后，波兰仍然对采用欧元犹豫不决。财政部长安杰伊·多曼斯基 (Andrzej Domański) 认为，波兰本国货币兹罗提使该国免受经济衰退和冲击。尽管欧盟成员国要求用欧元取代兹罗提，但波兰政府坚持认为这一步骤目前没有道理。

Poland Not Yet Ready to Join Eurozone, Finance Minister Declares

财政部长宣称波兰尚未准备好加入欧元区

Warsaw, Poland (AP) - Despite marking two decades of European Union (EU) membership on May 1, 2023, Poland remains reluctant to abandon its national currency, the zloty, in favor of the euro. This position was recently reaffirmed by Andrzej Domański, Finance Minister in Prime Minister Donald Tusk's pro-EU government.

波兰华沙（美联社）——尽管波兰已于 2023 年 5 月 1 日庆祝加入欧盟 (EU) 二十周年，但波兰仍然不愿放弃本国货币兹罗提，转而使用欧元。唐纳德·图斯克总理亲欧盟政府的财政部长安杰伊·多曼斯基最近重申了这一立场。

In an interview with TVN24 on Monday, Domański unequivocally stated that Poland's accession to the eurozone, comprising 20 EU member states, is not currently warranted. He emphasized that the zloty's continued existence has been instrumental in shielding Poland from economic downturns, including the global financial crisis.

多曼斯基周一在接受 TVN24 采访时明确表示，目前没有理由让波兰加入由 20 个欧盟成员国组成的欧元区。他强调，兹罗提的继续存在有助于保护波兰免受经济衰退（包括全球金融危机）的影响。

During its EU accession process, Poland pledged to replace the zloty with the euro. However, the country has since witnessed the benefits of maintaining its own currency. Domański argued that the zloty's flexibility has enabled Poland to navigate economic shocks and pursue independent monetary policies tailored to its specific circumstances.

在加入欧盟过程中，波兰承诺用欧元取代兹罗提。然而，该国此后见证了维持本国货币的好处。多曼斯基认为，兹罗提的灵活性使波兰能够应对经济冲击，并奉行适合其具体情况的独立货币政策。

Poland's hesitation to adopt the euro aligns with a broader trend among some EU member states. Several countries, such as Denmark and Sweden, have opted to retain their national currencies, citing concerns over loss of monetary sovereignty and the potential impact on their economies.

波兰对采用欧元的犹豫符合一些欧盟成员国的更广泛趋势。丹麦和瑞典等几个国家选择保留本国货币，理由是担心失去货币主权及其对经济的潜在影响。

The eurozone, established in 1999, initially comprised 11 EU member states. Since then, nine additional countries have adopted the euro, including Slovenia in 2007 and Lithuania in 2015. The euro has become a symbol of European integration and economic cooperation.

欧元区成立于1999年，最初由11个欧盟成员国组成。此后，又有9个国家采用了欧元，其中包括2007年的斯洛文尼亚和2015年的立陶宛。欧元已成为欧洲一体化和经济合作的象征。

However, the eurozone has also faced challenges, including sovereign debt crises in Greece and other member states. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the economic disparities among eurozone members and raised questions about the sustainability of the monetary union.

然而，欧元区也面临挑战，包括希腊等成员国的主权债务危机。此外，COVID-19 大流行凸显了欧元区成员国之间的经济差距，并引发了人们对货币联盟可持续性的质疑。

Poland's decision to maintain the zloty reflects a cautious approach to the eurozone. The country's government believes that its own currency provides greater flexibility and control over its economic destiny. As Poland commemorates its 20th anniversary of EU membership, the debate over the merits of the euro will likely continue for the foreseeable future.

波兰决定维持兹罗提反映了其对欧元区的谨慎态度。该国政府认为，本国货币为其经济命运提供了更大的灵活性和控制力。在波兰纪念其加入欧盟 20 周年之际，关于欧元优点的争论在可预见的未来可能还会持续下去。
