I have a sentence like this:

German taxpayers are in no mood to save what they see as profligate Greeks, [u]having already pledged €500 billion ($682 billion) to shore up their own banks and billions more for companies.[/u]
is it correct to put modified (underlines) like this in the end ?

I wonder if it is correct or not ?

Modifiers that modify nouns should be next to the noun they modify. So I think the sentence looks better if you start it with the modifier

Having already pledged â"šÂ¬500 billion ($682 billion) to shore up their own banks and billions more for companies, German taxpayers are in no mood to save what they see as profligate Greeks.
