Yunanistan ekonomisinde devlet borç krizi-cari açık ilişkisi

2009 yılı sonbaharında başlayan Yunanistan devlet borç krizi hem Yunanistan hem de Avrupa Birliği (AB) için önceden tahmin edilmesi mümkün olmayan sorunlar yaratmıştır. Yunanistan 1980'li yıllardan beri sahip olduğu yüksek cari açık düzeyini 2009 yılı son çeyreğine kadar sürdürmüştür. A.B.D.’de ipotekli piyasalarında başlayan subprime mortgage krizi, 2008’de küresel bir krize dönüşünce Yunanistan’ın yüksek açıkları, kontrol edilemeyen seviyelere çıkarak, sadece kendisi için değil, AB için de bir kabus olmuştur. Sonunda 2009 yılında Yunanistan'da borç krizi patlamıştır. Bu çalışmada Yunanistan ekonomisinde cari açık-devlet borç krizi ilişkisi ortaya konmaya çalışılmaktadır.
