    [FONT=&quot]World's Richest Governments[/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot]We know the world's richest man is Carlos Slim Helu of Mexico, [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]After the two richest men in the world , Bill Gates n Warrent Buffet , gave away most of their fortune to charity ) [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]You'll have to check with Forbes for the rest.[/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot]How about governments?[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]Which government is the richest (having most money that is, in US$)?[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]If you are expecting North American and European nations, wrong .........[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]While the countries may look rich, wealthy European nations can't withstand a prolonged major financial crisis, just like Greece.[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]The USA might have the biggest economy, but the American government is not at all rich;[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot](in fact, it can't even take out US$150bn if asked to now without resorting to borrowing.[/FONT][FONT=&quot])[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]To date the US government has borrowed $14.5 trillion![/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot]The UK, likewise, while the country/people are well off, the government isn't. [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]The UK government's debt stands at $9 trillion now![/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot]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. The PRC overspent $110bn last year, much of it towards modernizing their military, if it goes on like this their reserves can only last for 22 yrs.[/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot]The Malaysian gov't overspent $13bn last year, if it goes on like this their reserves can only last for 7 yrs.[/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot]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.[/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot]The Swiss gov't overspent $1bn last year, if it goes on like this their reserves can last 262 yrs.[/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot]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 bankrupt.[/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot]Greece's debt is 113.40% GDP, in danger as it is not considered a strong industrial or financial country, as we already know.[/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot]Iceland’s debt is 107.60% GDP, also in crisis as it is not so strong industrially or financially.[/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot]Singapore’s debt 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%.[/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot]Japan’s debt is 189.30%, still under radar as a powerful Industrial nation. It needs to panic only at around 200%.[/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot]The US has the world largest debt, but it is only 62% of its GDP, it is not in any immediate danger of bankruptcy.[/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot]Zimbabwe’s debt is 282.60% GDP, it is a kaput nation.[/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot]Malaysia’s debt is currently At 53.70% GDP.... would have been much better if not for billions wasted thru corruption and mismanagement by UMNO.[/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot]Hong Kong and Taiwan are doing pretty good with debts at 32-37% GDP.[/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot]South Korea is even better with debts at 23.5% GDP.[/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot]China is very stable with debts at 16.90% GDP.[/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot]Russia is like a big mountain with debts @ only at 6.30% GDP.[/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot]There are only 5 countries with no debt, and are all comparatively small:[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]Brunei, Liechtenstein, Palau, Nieu, and Macau (China)\[/FONT]
