In the case of Greece, the saving of businesses and households exceeds the level of investment in businesses and housing by just enough to outweigh the dissaving by the government, resulting in a very small current-account surplus. Stated differently, Greece is now able to finance its current level of consumption and investment, including government and private spending, without relying on capital inflows from the rest of the world.
在希腊的例子中，企业和家庭储蓄超出企业和住房投资的幅度正好足以抵消政府储蓄不足，这意味着非常小的经常项目盈余。换句话说，目前希腊能够为其当前水平的消费和投资（包括政府和私人支出）融资，不需要依靠来自世界其他部分的资本流入。
