Naučni direktor instituta Mihael Landesman misli da je do negativnog bilansa u jugoistočnoj Evropi došlo nakon što su te zemlje izgubile pristup kreditima koje su koristile za finansiranje prekomernog uvoza, kao i zbog smanjenja količine novca koji šalje dijaspora i manjih direktnih stranih ulaganja.
