That’s more than double our closest pauper of France, and nearly four times that of America. The great news is that most of the French debt is in long term loans, such as mortgages. Only 50% of the French figure is short term debt due within six months (such as a credit card). The equivalent UK number? Short Term Debt is 300% of GDP. How this equates to being the best placed country in the world to ride out a recession has not yet been explained. (Hat tip to Fraser Nelson at The Spectator). Related Posts |
