Editor's Notes
Stock market cap is about 118 percent of world GDP Total debt is 146 percent of world GDP Bank Assets are 175 percent of world GDP With the debt cat
Globally, private debt, at 64 percent of total debt. Globally public debt is only 36 percent of the total. This picture changes dramatically, however, in the emerging markets, where public debt is larger than private debt. The point is that on the balance sheets of the developing world, public debt is the largest debt account. Total debt, however, is still small compared to bank assets and GDP. The indication is that development is likely to produce large increases in both public and private debt, but that growth rate of private debt will be much more rapid. For this occur, the sovereign debt situation must be stable, however. I can assure you that no one is keeping investments in Greece beyond the bare minimums necessary for transactions or which are large enough to justify the expense of moving the asset offshore.
