据道琼斯7月21日消息,委内瑞拉债务交易员们表示,美国对委内瑞拉石油工业实施的任何制裁都将增加该国债务违约的风险。委内瑞拉已经诉诸于特别的措施来支付债务,如大幅减少食品进口等。美国是委内瑞拉主要的现金来源,因为美国购买约一半的委内瑞拉出口商品。尽管近年来委内瑞拉增加了对亚洲的石油出口,但是其仍然不能依赖于象中国这样的同盟国,因为出口至中国等国的石油是用于偿还现有的债务,这对于缺乏现金的马杜罗政府来说不能提供急需的资金。 庞晓华 摘译自 道琼斯
原文如下: Oil Sanctions Could Hasten End of Venezuela Government Any US sanctions against Venezuela’s oil industry will increase the country’s chance of a debt default, Venezuelan bond traders say. Venezuela has resorted to ad hoc measures like drastically reducing its food imports to make its debt payments. The US is a key source of cash for Caracas, buying about half of Venezuela’s exports. While the South American country in recent years has increased oil shipments to Asia, it can’t rely on allies like China because much of the oil Venezuela sends there is used to pay down existing debt, which would not provide immediate funds for the cash-strapped Maduro administration.
