Variable rate debt in the UK 英国的可变利率债务

This is a disadvantage specific to the UK. In the UK, not only do a high percentage of the population own a home rather than rent, but also many more of the mortgage holders have variable rate debt than in EU countries. If the UK was part of the euro, any change in the interest rate set by the ECB, whether sensible or not, would have a much bigger impact in the UK.

A rise in the interest rate would cause the mortgage payments of all those who have a variable rate mortgage to rise. They would have less disposable income, so consumption would fall. There would be an equally big swing the other way if interest rates rose. This is why many economists argue that UK interest rates should be set separately from Euro-land interest rates. The subsequent effects are too different for the same interest rate to work for the UK and the rest of Euro-land.

这是英国特有的不利因素。在英国，不仅有很高比例的人口拥有住房而不是租房，而且与欧盟国家相比，更多的抵押贷款持有人拥有可变利率债务。如果英国是欧元的一部分，欧洲央行设定的任何利率变化，无论是否合理，都会对英国产生更大的影响。

利率的上升将导致所有拥有可变利率抵押贷款的人的抵押贷款付款上升。他们的可支配收入会减少，所以消费会下降。如果利率上升，同样会有一个很大的反面波动。这就是为什么许多经济学家认为，英国的利率应该与欧洲大陆的利率分开制定。后续的影响太不一样了，同样的利率对英国和欧元区的其他国家都是有效的。
