Notes :-1. Per capita net availability given above is not strictly representative of the actual level of consumption in the country, because it does not take into account any change in stocks in possession of traders, producers and consumers.
2. For Calculation of per capita Net availability the figures of Net Imports From 1981 to 1994 are based on Imports and exports on Govt. of India account only. Net Imports from 1995 onwards are, however, based on the total exports and Imports (both Government and Private accounts).
With a traumatic implosion – economic, financial, political, and social – now taking place in Greece, we should expect heated debate about who is to blame for the country's deepening misery. There are four suspects – all of them involved in the spectacular boom that preceded what will prove to be an even more remarkable bust.
