I would think it is fairly self-explanatory. The German state pension scheme was running at an alarming deficit, until suddenly a lot of people are no longer claiming it. For the scheme to run from a bad deficit to a healthy profit a massive number of people would have been required to stop drawing on it. There is only one way this can happen.

Or the numbers are being diddled. "Hans, mach die roten Zahlen schwarz."
