Looking ahead, the IMF predicts that Greece will have a gradually rising primary surplus and a gradually declining overall deficit over the next several years. But, unless Greece is able to increase its rate of economic growth, the budget will remain in deficit and the debt will remain at nearly its current share of GDP.
在未来几年中，IMF预测希腊将出现逐渐上升的初级盈余和逐渐下降的总赤字。但是，除非希腊能够提高其经济增长率，否则其预算将依然是赤字，其债务占GDP比重将依然在当前水平徘徊。
