Elsewhere, small, formerly socialist economies – Armenia, Belarus, Moldova, Georgia, Lithuania, and Kosovo – have grown very rapidly since the early 2000’s. But look at their average current-account deficits from 2000 to 2013 – which range from a low of 5.5% of GDP in Lithuania to a high of 13.4% in Kosovo – and it becomes evident that these are not countries to emulate.
在其他地区，小型前社会主义经济体——亚美尼亚、白俄罗斯、摩尔多瓦、格鲁吉亚、立陶宛和科索沃——在21世纪最初几年均以很快的速度增长。但看看它们在2000—2013年间平均经常项目赤字——最低是立陶宛，为GDP的5.5%，最高是科索沃，为GDP的13.4%——马上就能发现这些国家不能作为模仿对象。
