There's a saying if you havent lost money betting against the Japanese Yen, you arent a matured trader yet.

Kyle Bass, a hedge-fund manager, who predicted the Financial crisis of 2007~8 in 2005, made alot of money shorting the Sub-price in 2006~2008. He has come out with a new strategy to position himself from a crashing Yen.

Here's his complete report

So who's financing the debt?

Now I'm not sure what it means apart from Japan being in debt to its banks, right?

I would have been happier if it was US (sorry for being mean to your country), see that way there would have been better chance of them getting out of out of our region and leave us alone!

anyway thanks for sharing, something I didn't know!

In nominal terms (absolute terms), US is the largest debtor, but all numbers are relative. In that Japan blows everyone out of the water!

So many bets on the Yen...
Sometimes it feels like the Japanese are just handing out free Yen to the world to increase demand of their Toyotas...
HAeee heres some moneees buy more cars from us.

Btw, this is almost $10T Japan owes.... how much does the US owe to Japan?

 

[Pak1stani]

Most of the debt is internal debt used to finance national projects during past several decades, means In simple terms Japanese public gives money to Japanese govt. to build roads, schools etc for them.

I guess who ever made this report missed UAE. UAE has 2012 revenue at around 11.38 Bn USD and soveriegn debt of around 95 Bn USD (Only Dubai, Abu Dhabi also has small amount of soveriegn debt) which makes its soveriegn debt/revenue ratio easily above 800%.

$1.083T as of March 2012

A huge chunk goes into taking care of the elderly. Japan has applied the wrong solutions since its crash of the real-estate bubble in the 80s

Yaar in logoun ka maamla is kinda interesting. Coz what they have done is that they have leveraged their oil exports. Instead of paying off their debt, they have taken that money and set up sovereign wealth fund. They are kinda forced to do it to combat the Global Central bank's ZIRP policy. In simply terms, UAE is not broke, it has alot of equity and alot of debt. Net positions arent insane. Lekin.. LEKIN.. you are right.. they economy is totally whacked off.. with structural imbalances..

I hate this acedamic.. aristocratic talk.. ! Kuch simple sawal ker lete! lol.

Lol.

Dubai restructured $25 Billion of its sovereign debt which was supposed to be paid off in 2012. They are planning to pay it by 2017. Who knows where does the global economic situation stands after 5 years.

Its Abu Dhabi who is leveraging its oil exports. Dubai's economy is only 9% oil dependent. Dubai is nothing without Abu Dhabi. It was Abu Dhabi government which saved Dubai back in 2008 and got some childish gifts in return e.g. Burj Dubai named Burj Khalifa and acquiring National Bank of Dubai and naming it Emirates NBD.

Guess what.. Now they are selling Burj Khalifa to private companies. LOL

I guess overall UAE debt/revenue ratio would be small because Dubai has $95 bn soverieng debt on it while Abu Dhabi has leveraged oil exports so for overall UAE it balances out. Its confusing tho. LOL

Extremism isn't good but seems like it goes well for them from cutting their little finger for swordsmanship to getting into a pile of debt.

Even yakuza earns them a good share.

Theres a quote from a leader of an Native Indian tribe. "They came to America with the Bible. They asked us to pray with them. We close our eyes and prayed. When we opened our eyes, we had their bible and they had our lands."

they are busy selling their rotten fish to commercial banks.. Since the start of 2012, SBP has bought Rs 1.404 trillion of Govt excrement to prop on the banks & Govt spending! Funny thing is you NEVER see the finance minister or SBP governer give an interview to the media!

That is why they say, there is a difference between being wise and being cunning. Natives always have wisdom but these white intruders got everyone with their fox-like sharpness.
