In May 2010, the Greek government agreed to a fiscal adjustment equal to 16% of GDP from 2010 to 2013. As a result, Greece moved from a primary budget deficit (which excludes interest payments on debt) of more than 10% of GDP to a primary balance last year – by far the largest such reversal in post-crisis Europe.
2010年5月，下列政府同意在2010—2013年做出相当于GDP的16%的财政调整。结果，希腊从超GDP的10%的初级预算赤字（不含债务利息支付）变为去年超GDP的10%的初级预算盈余——到目前为止，这是危机后时期欧洲最大幅度的改善。
