According to the OECD, the annualized flow of German goods exports from January 2008 to January 2009 declined by $173 billion more than the corresponding flow of imports fell, which means that Germany’s annualized trade surplus fell by the same amount. This is the strongest decline in net foreign demand facing a single country, or, equivalently, the strongest increase in a country’s net demand for foreign goods.
数据显然也支持了这种观点。根据OECD的统计，德国2008年1月份到2009年1月份的年化货物出口量比相同时期的年化货物进口量多下降了1730亿美元，这意味着，德国的年化贸易顺差也减少了同样的数量。这是单个国家面临的最严重的净外国需求的下降，或者换句话说，这是单个国家对外国商品需求的最强劲的增长。而其他国家，例如日本，其年化贸易收支只减少了1570亿。
