The European Union has allowed 11 of its member states to introduce a new tax designed to discourage financial speculation. It’s expected the tax will be levied on every trade in bonds, shares and other financial products. Supporters think the tax will raise billions of Euros, but critics think trading will simply move elsewhere.
欧盟已批准11位成员国引入新的税收政策,该政策专门阻止金融投机。该税收政策预计将会在债券、股票以及其他金融产品的各种交易进行征税。支持者们认为该税收政策将为欧盟筹集到数亿元资金,但是,批评家们认为交易只会因此转移至别处。
