ad infinitum
ギリシャの債務問題に関して，ギリシャ側はIMFに対し，負債の返済をしっかり行っていくと発言しました。ギリシャは，デフォルトリスクを抱えており，EU諸国の量的緩和策の中に入れておりませんでした。国が発行する国債を購入して資金量を増加させますが，ギリシャの国債は不良債権になるリスクが高く，EU諸国は国債購入をしないとしております。ギリシャは態度を軟化せざるおえなかったようですね。しかし，どのように返済を行っていくのかは不明瞭だと思われます。
記事の中で気になった単語は"ad infinitum"です。『Wisdom英和辞典第三版』（三省堂）によると「無限に，果てしなく，延々と」などという意味がありました。ODによると"Again and again in the same way; forever"とあります。ラテン語に由来するようです。（Ume）
Lagarde welcomes loan payment commitment from Athens
On Sunday, Greece's finance minister Yanis Varoufakis said his country intended to meet "all obligations to all its creditors, ad infinitum".
His comments followed a meeting in Washington with International Monetary Fund officials.
It has been almost five years since the start of the Greek bailout.
Ms Lagarde said in a statement on Sunday that she and Mr Varoufakis had agreed continuing uncertainty over Greece's ability to repay its debt was not in the country's interest.
"I welcomed confirmation by the minister that payment owing to the Fund would be forthcoming on April 9th," Ms Lagarde said.
"I expressed my appreciation for the minister's commitment to improve the technical teams' ability to work with the authorities to conduct the necessary due diligence in Athens, and to enhance the policy discussions with the teams in Brussels, both of which will resume promptly on Monday."
