WORLD'S RICHEST GOVERNMENTS

World's Richest Governments !!!

World's Richest Governments !!!

Interesting attachment for those who are financially inclined to get a better perspective on the world's economies

We know the world's richest man is Carlos Slim Helu of Mexico, followed by Bill Gates and Warren Buffet of USA . How about governments? Which countries’ government is the richest (having most money that is, in US $) If you are expecting North American and European nations, you might be disappointed. While the countries look rich, wealthy European nations can't withstand a prolonged major financial crisis, just like Greece . The USA might have the biggest economy, but the American government is not at all rich; in fact, it can't even take out $150bn if asked to without resorting to borrowing. To date the US government has borrowed $14 trillion! The UK , likewise, while the country/people are rich, the government isn't. The UK government’s debt stands at $9 trillion now.

Big national reserves doesn't guarantee prosperity however, for instance, the yearly expenses for China 's government is $1.11 trillion, their government must always think of economic growth and making more money. China’s gov't overspent $110bn last year, much on it towards modernizing their military, if it goes on like this their reserves can only last for 22 yrs. The Malaysian gov't overspent $13bn last year, if it goes on like this their reserves can only last for 7 yrs. The Singaporean government overspent $3bn last year, much of it rescuing their banks from financial crisis, if it goes on like this their reserves can last 68 yrs. The Swiss gov't overspent $1bn last year, if it goes on like this their reserves can last 262 yrs.

A country normally can borrow up to 100% its GDP, a very strong industrial country or very financial stable nation can borrow up to perhaps 200% its GDP, debts over 250% GDP the country is bankrupted. Greece 's Debts Is 113.40% GDP, In Danger As It Is Not Considered A Strong Industrial Or Financial Country. Iceland Is 107.60%, Also In Crisis As It Is Not So Strong Industrial Or Financially. Singapore Debts Is 113.10%, Not In Hot Water Due To Its Global Financial Hub Status, And Also Its Financial Strength. It's Only Dangerous For Singapore When It Reaches 200% Japan Debts Is 189.30%, Still Under Radar As A Powerful Industrial Nation. It Needs To Panic Only At Around 200% US Has The World Largest Debts, But It Is Only 62% Its GDP, It Is Not In Any Immediate Danger Of Bankruptcy. Zimbabwe Debts Is 282.60% GDP, It Is A Bankrupted Nation. Malaysia Debts Is Currently At 53.70% GDP. Hong Kong And Taiwan Is Doing Pretty Good With Debts At 32-37% GDP South Korea Is Even Better With Debts At 23.5% GDP China Is Very Stable With Debts At 16.90% GDP Russia Is Like A Big Mountain With Debts Only At 6.30% GDP

There Are Only 5 Countries With No Debt (I.E. 0%) – Brunei, Liechtenstein , Palau , Nieu, And Macau Of China
