More from The Independent here. As the first comment below the article states:"Given that the UK currently has a debt of over £1 trillion does this make the UK richer or poorer than Zimbabwe?"

If you were to look at the debts of most countries we are all in the same mess. Governments have been responsible for a drop in regulations which has allowed banks to lend furiously and rely on savers in China and elsewhere to fund this debt binge. _________________Do concentrate, 007...

Deutsche Bank also has massive losses all across Europe so don't get too cocky. It is still not out of the woods and not even Germany could bail it out in a new crisis. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted.

So is China the only country with any cash? Given their recent history of exploding everythings I hope they manage to keep the piggy bank safe!

The Middle east is okay. Even countries like the Lebanon have very solvent banks with no risk of collapse. Most of Asia is pretty solvent, though China has large savings it also has a huge property bubble that is currently deflating and whether its banks will be solvent once that has finished is another matter. _________________Do concentrate, 007...
