Household savings soared in the United States and other "high-income economies" during the pandemic, as people cut back on spending while government policies supported incomes. However, saving behavior has now diverged, with the U.S. saving rate dropping below its pre-pandemic average while saving rates elsewhere in the world have remained above their pre-pandemic averages. As a result, U.S. consumers have been spending down the “excess savings” built up during the Covid pandemic while the excess savings in other nations remain untapped (blue vs. red lines in the chart).

The chart simply shows the "excess savings" in the United States vs. other major high-income countries as a percentage (%). The "excess savings" percentage is the amount above what people had been saving during and since the pandemic versus what they were saving prior to the pandemic. People had built up their savings during the pandemic because they were receiving government checks plus many businesses were closed for periods of time so they had to cut back on spending. 

The non-U.S. economies are shown as a group with the red line. These countries are made up of the 19 "Euro area" countries, Japan, United Kingdom and Canada. If you will notice, in the USA "excess savings" has steadily declined falling to 10% of household disposable income (income left after tax deductions) vs. the others which have remained flat.
