Meanwhile, despite a massive contraction of the economy by nearly 15% in 2009, the fact that it had rebuilt up large surpluses during the good years has meant that its government debt to GDP ratio is, at 7.2%, easily the lowest in the EU and one of the lowest in the world.
Mittlerweile hat, trotz eines massiven Rückgangs der Wirtschaft um fast 15% im Jahre 2009, die Tatsache, dass es in den guten Jahren einen großen Überschuss erwirtschaftet hat, dazu geführt, dass das Verhältnis von Staatsschulden zum BIP bei 7,2% liegt und es damit auf jeden Fall das Niedrigste in der EU und auch das Niedrigste weltweit ist.

Het feit dat het land tijdens de goede jaren grote overschotten had opgebouwd, heeft intussen betekend dat de ratio van zijn overheidsschuld ten opzichte van het bbp met 7,2 procent veruit de laagste is in de EU en een van de laagste in de wereld, ondanks een forse krimp van de economie met bijna 15 procent in 2009.
Entretanto, apesar de uma contracção maciça da economia de quase 15% em 2009, o facto de este país ter reconstruído excedentes significativos durante os anos bons permitiu que o seu rácio entre dívida pública e o PIB se situasse nos 7,2%, sem dúvida alguma a mais baixa da UE e uma das mais baixas do mundo.
