Did Greece's capital stock decrease in 2010...?

A quick post today, just to share a datapoint with you really.

I was curious to see where net fixed capital formation in Greece stands right now. By net fixed capital formation I mean gross fixed capital formation minus consumption of fixed capital.

Besides my native Greece, in the chart, I have included Ireland and since it is increasingly making front pages and headlines lately, Italy.

Here's the chart.

The chart shows that in 2010 Greece's capital stock actually decreased. AMECO data run back to 1960 and this has never happened before...
