对于欧洲而言，马雷克·贝尔卡认为，欧洲面临着几方面的长期挑战。主要是由于生产力低下以及GDP 增长疲弱，这一点在欧洲显而易见。欧洲已经进入老龄社会，中国也进入老龄社会，但欧洲老龄社会进 程已持续很长一段时间，与任何其他世界的地区进行对比，欧洲增长会比较慢。眼前欧洲最大的挑战是 不平衡、不稳定。我们已进入不稳定的世界，欧洲目前在不稳定的国际经济之下会显得更加脆弱。如果 中美打"关税战"，欧洲既不是赢家也不是输家，会变成两国相交的直接战场，对欧洲来讲没有任何好 处。欧洲一直希望可以进入和平合作的时代，但现在正面临着变革。 "我们在全球范围内看到非常危险的关税游戏正在进行中。"马雷克·贝尔卡提到，"短期来看，美国关税 的错误实施带来了几方面结果。首先是其不确定性，不仅是对于全球经济，而且对于美国经济带来了直 接的不确定性。" 马雷克·贝尔卡还提到，使美元走弱是美国的单边政策。同时，作为全球储备货币，美国在某种程度 上，又不希望美元走弱。当前可以看到资本开始流出美国美元市场，即美元已经走弱了，美元作为全球 货币以及全球储备货币位置也会逐步地走弱。美国新政府做法的危机在于其国内非常深入和深刻的社会 问题。作为科技和经济 ...
