China's Local Governments have built up a Massive $9 TRILLION of Debt through the issuance of Bonds. These Interest Coupon and Repayment of these Bonds was being funded by LAND AUCTIONS however the Property Crash has reduced this income and the Local Governments are now facing the risk of DEFAULT. In this video I look at the current situation and discuss the implications for China.

Our economy is struggling with uncertainties, housing issues, foreclosures, global fluctuations, and the pandemic aftermath, causing instability. Rising inflation, sluggish growth, and trade disruptions need urgent attention from all sectors to restore stability and stimulate growth.
With the US dollar losing value to inflation and other currencies gaining traction, uncertainty looms. Yet, many still trust in the dollar's perceived safety. Worried about my $420,000 retirement savings losing value, I seek alternative security for my money.
With my demanding job, I lack time for investment analysis. For seven years, a fiduciary has managed my portfolio, adapting to market conditions, enabling successful navigation and informed decisions. Consider a similar approach.
This is definitely considerable! Do you think you could suggest any professionals or advisors I can get on the phone with? I'm in dire need of proper portfolio allocation.
Just research the name Desiree Ruth Hoffman. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.
I appreciate it. After searching her name online and reviewing her credentials, I'm quite impressed. I've contacted her as I could use all the help I can get. A call has been scheduled.
"The only thing that could go wrong..." is if the entire China real estate system was a ponzi scheme
it kind of is. they took out 9 trillion in international capital loans to build ghost cities that ordinary chinese cant even afford to buy to live in. as long as international capital investment was coming in, they could afford to make payments on the loans. but with rising interest rates by western banks paying higher interest, those international capital investors put their money in the west because it was more stable and paid higher interest. so china cant afford to make min payments now.
From what I understand, it didn’t start as a Ponzi scheme, the Developers made it one by NOT finishing building what it started… A few heads need to roll!
Well this is peanuts. Try running up a 35 trillion dollar debt that increases by 100 billion dollars every month. Just keep those printers running non stop.
@@kamsunleong6648 dont worry the americans have a diversified economy with an economic gdp of 27 trillion a year last year. russian economic gdp was 1.9 trillion before the war and likely 900 billion and shrinking. as well russia lost 51 percent of their energy gdp to eu by pipeline they cant sell to anyone else in that volume. in addition the rouble is in low demand trade globally so creating an oversupply by printing roubles is gonna tank its value in reality fast. also high inflation caused by printing roubles as we see in russia right now. when it hits hyperinflation russia arrives at a 1990 ussr moment.
printing 35 percent of russian budge in roubles to build ammo and weapons that get destroyed in ukraine and bring back no tax revenue to russian economy. recipe for disaster in near future as inflation rises to hyperinflation.
o@@kamsunleong6648
and if these are "official" figures, you can bet the real situation is a LOT worse
thats 9 trillion thats not listed on the national dept but should be and national income from the provinces that they should not be getting
Every time you hear a government entity making claims about money, and China is an exponent of that tradition, you have to assume the situation is much, much worse. The amount they mention is the least amount they think they can get away with admitting to. That means the actual result is going to be excessively much worse and the local authorities stand no chance of servicing the debt and a recession in China is unavoidable once those bonds mature.
Without a doubt, this year will be worse than the last. I lost a lot of money last year as a result of bad investment choices that I would not have made if I hadn't been so worried about my portfolio. I kept investing, but I couldn't determine whether to start paying for a house. In the end, I sold my positions, and the house needed more work than I had planned. I'm not sure how long I can keep going like this
We've all made mistakes at some point. You should consider financial planning
True. My portfolio was diversified across several markets with the help of a financial planner, and were able to achieve over a million in net profit among high dividend yield equities, ETFs, and bonds. It is vital that you have a variety of exposure, including in firms that are currently generating cash flows.
Do you mind sharing your financial planner?

China has an incentive to make the West think it's not doing great, though. That might leave our politicians with a sense of complacency in tackling that threat.
@@Mr11ESSE111 Zero connection. Dih.
Those debt stacked up quickly... 2014 to 2024... YIKES! Those numbers are HORRIBLE.
It’s just unbelievable how China somehow fell into this debt trap just like Japan in the 80s. This is what they get for having a culture of yes-sayers. I bet even Xi didn’t understand what was going on before the red lines were introduced.
A lot of it went into high-speed rail.

It would be nice if the two biggest economies in the world weren't giant bubbles, hey?
@@stephaniewaters1777 That’s a mislead use of the figures. If you combine household, local government and state debt China has a higher ratio to GDP than the US. Those loans mentioned in this video are not included in the Chinese government debt numbers.
@@stephaniewaters1777Japan has a 200% debt to gdp ratio. The difference is these debts are to their own governments, not to the people nor companies.
Communism trying to play the capitalist game with government caveats. Always was doomed to failure😂👍

It's not truly communism. Needs another definition
Fascism?
Are you THAT stupid? China OWNS ITS OWN BANKS AND CURRENCY, how can it possibly have debt? Do you understand WHY the West has debt? The West has to borrow money from private banks like the FED. China doesn't, its its own bank and it controls its own currency there is nobody who CAN lend to China dear. There is no national debt thats a US Western lie to try cover the fact their model is wholly corrupt.
Face their Karma!
Every day I give thanks to the universe that I was not born in China.
Damn straight
i wonder what makes a spirit decide its going to live as a blind homeless child in india?
im terrible at eoonomics but im sure if these bonds been british, they would be james bonds and the issue would be far less to worry about. right?
I'm waiting to see the CCP get so desperate for cash that it invents a National emergency and forces all the banks to turn over a big portion of every netizen's cash savings they have in banks ! the people of China have a HUGE amount of cash in the banks right now, that might be the final thing that forces the people to finally REVOLT !!!!
born in Kensington is fantastic .
Sounds like a monumental ponzi scheme
The US has Debt to GDP Ratio of 123 percent, China has 77 percent.
These countries are 16% and 25% of the world's GDP, respectively.
It's a worry.
The Chinese have become a broken chopstick. I read the book The Broken Chopstick. A very engrossing apistles 😊
A trillion here, a trillion there, and pretty soon you're talking about real money.
😂👍
They have to start looking in the sofa cracks
US is $34 trillion in debt, China makes stuff people actually want, to the point where they are removing themselves from the western central financial system. Then you’d be talking about real money

Thank you Joe, yet another masterpiece
Thanks Joe for another great update,..it’s much appreciated .. 💙💛💙
The property market in Australia is HOT. I think unconfident Chinese and Asian "cleaned" money buy here, driving up real estate prices and deprive locals of affordable housing. It is a huge problem and becoming a larger one continually.
It's a massive racket and the government is involved.
Yes, wealthy Chinese are taking their money and heading out of China to more civilized places with transparent and fair rule of law.
Or Muscowites. Like in Londongrad.
I agree, but not just Chinese, I believe. Housing bought and left empty in Australia is part of our rental crisis, along with public rental housing not being built. Rents here are insane!
Well, I am in Australia and this is all down to Australian politicians, they are the ones who allow this
Great report JB. I tried explaining to my Chinese family members about boom and bust cycles within capitalism. They assured me every time that 'Capitalism with Chinese Characteristics' would not have the negative parts of capitalism in the West. It appears that they are finally starting to understand.
For years, they told me that government investment, regulation and state ownership of companies would see Chinese Capitalism become the model for all others to follow, an economic miracle.
There will be an explosion of anger if everyone loses their investments, after covid, many people there are a little more angry at their government.
It is a new "economy" every time there is a bubble. It never gets old lol
The fam sounds brain washed by the CCP propaganda.
The "Chinese Characteristics" is called corruption to the Nth degree. The laws in China are a joke, it's not design to protect the people, it's to protect the communist system.
Chinese: We're immune to all the bad stuff of other countries
Why?
Chinese: Because we're the only human species in the world. Everyone else is a white monkey.
Pretty much sums up my interactions with them when I was overseas.
It seems the Chinese characteristics is build to excess. They have no desire to manage their production to the current consumption!
Entitlement infection is happening in China too..
All the 💩 comes from mosCow to UKq
Exceptionalism to the extreme.

9 trillion is the official number, it does not include black market debt nor various commitments that haven't been paid. Double the 9 trillion and remove 2 thirds of China's GDP to account for inflated numbers from the provinces to hit minimum targets set by the government and you start to realize why the wheels are coming off.
Damn, that is way worse if you put it that way. HOW MUCH did they actually wiped out in their own "housing crisis"? Most of the borrowers are actually domestic. (including the CCP itself)
There comes a moment when the pretence can not be keept up....
Who owns the bonds though, bankers / pension funds, western money??
Enormous hidden debt off the books.

Why we never heard some credit company lower the credit score of china ?
When you owe someone a little money it's your problem, when you owe someone a lot of money it's their problem.
Wonder who owns the bonds!
Ultimately it's the Billion Chinese workers who put their savings in banks and investment firms which bought the bonds. Many regular Chinese have trouble withdrawing their banked money, they demonstrate, police knock heads. Investment firms promised big returns, now facing bankruptcy. It's even worse than Joe said.
The original line goes something like “if you own a million dollars and can’t pay it’s your problem. If you own ten million and can’t pay it the debt holder’s problem. If you own a hundred million and can’t pay it’s the government’s problem.”
An important note, no one has bought property and are only buying leases. All those individuals who leased property are getting screwed and will not have any hope of getting all their money back, much less a positive return.

Those that subscribe to the China Update channel have been following this problem blow.by blow for years now.
This episode looks excellent for anyone who has not been following the Chinese economic crisis but does not include the attempts by China to resolve their crisis and failed
Apparently the CCP has backed off enforcing policies like the Three Red Lines that shocked the economy
The CCP also has recognized after taking from the Chinese for so many years that it's the only entity with possible resources to save the economy but the CCP is also loathe to risk its own wealth so has created a number of super long debt of at least 25 years . But who would buy 25 year bonds at below market interest rates? The idea is that the money raised by the CCP is then given or loaned to the local governments
China's financial markets particularly those that sell only to domestic buyers are very opaque so no one can really see with certainty what is happening.
By now, China is probably realizing that real reforms care needed and CCP efforts are too little too late and not effective and there is a feeling of loss of hope and giving up
you forgot the 5trill they've already remonetized local spvs with
When is land leasing started in China anybody that had their hands in that cookie jar got money back from the cookie jar. There’s so much corruption going on there. Money was leaking out of everywhere. The developers were taken money in full from the buyers or the leasers and buying or leasing other land with that can’t do that. And that $9 trillion number that I have a lot more than that that goes a lot deeper. There’s an old saying in this country you don’t put all your eggs in one basket, housing markets anywhere in the world can go up and go down. That noise you’re hearing at the end is a big thud. What a mess and the sad thing is that the CCP does not care about its own people. They care about what they can liner pockets with right now they got cotton balls in there they’re looking for dollar bills, that’s all they care about
Local governments do no go burst, the bond holders are the one screwed….any idea who they are?
Many thanks for the best reports that are very rare to find these days I always follow your blogs … well done 👌
Even the US Gov could not make as big a mess as this.
Don't give them any ideas.
In finance, 'special purpose (vehicle/aquisition company, etc)' = scam. Just one big casino.
What happened to China dethroning the USD?
China literally looks like it is in an economic depression. The CCP is just not willing to admit it to themselves, much less the world. They have a deflation problem in everything they produce in the private sector, of which not much is left. All the land leases, that the local governments depended on for revenue are no longer valuable enough to sustain the bond debt and to make things worse, the working age population has a unemployment rate so high that the government doesn't report it anymore. This situation is so much worse than Japan in the 1990s. It is only a matter of time.
One of two things is going to happen in China. The CCP is going to deflect and blame its problems on the Global West, creating termoil outside of the country and starting a major war by invading Taiwan and attacking Japan and the Philippines.
Or there will be major protests to overthrow the CCP in China. Either way, it is going to be bloody.
It is true that xi needs a Victoria. But it is less likely that they try with Taiwan inspite of all the retoric. Siberia is a much better fit for his aspirations. China would have natural resources and a hinterland that would make it invonurable to the west and all central asian countries would become vassals.
@@ulfosterberg9116 Xi poor guy is just a crook - Putin's a kook - no Sir - South Tibet, not Siberia
Any other scenario may happen - bowl of petunias, blue whale - you name it - but CCP overthrow - well - they can try
looks like another mgmt fail.
It's funny hearing Westerners who are so impressed with Chinese cities compared to those, say, in the United States. Whelp, time to pay the piper.
Joe it's an interesting problem, but a 100% domestic one. the solution is to monetize the debt, by printing money. It will lead to a devaluation of the currency (maybe). for more than two years bond pricing has become a state secret. The rest of the world is not exposed to this disaster, but it gets worse because, after the state authorities, the State-owned enterprises are the biggest bond borrowers. Again the risk of contagion is almost nil. They will replace bonds with cash book entry in Remimbi...fun time. BTW excellent summary
already happened
9 Trillion is probably China's actual GDP 😅😂😅
Close. In 2022 the GDP of China was ~$18 trillion dollars
No, it's China's actual population according to the very reliable & trustworthy Chinese government. 😂
Probably less. Some ten years ago chinas GDP was estimated to be 40% of the official figure. Since then growth has been anemic but official figures still show healthy growth.
it's 6.7 T more than went missing on 10.09.2001
Maybe 9 times of the actual GDP..
Based on the Chinese laws lands can not be privately owned, people only have the right to use the land,but not own the land, house ownership expires in 70 years.
Thats just insane !
And if you buy an apartment that is 35 years old, you pay for using the apartment for 35 years.
Its essentially daylight robbery by the state
I am pretty sure that the same is/was in the UK - the land is owned by the crown/state and "leased" for 99 years, lease to be automatically renewed on expiration - maybe under payment of a small registration fee - unless some rare exception come into play.
The difference is that we all suspect that the Chinese government will play fast and loose when THEIR lease start expiring.
that's perfectly logical - what's insane is people biting into it at scale
70 years seems pretty reasonable. I don't think this is a flaw as you describe it.
Debt fueled growth
Exactly like in Amerika! 🙃🤣
That could be triple in number! Wait until the bubbles burst then the real numbers will be a big shock. I won’t be surprised lot of US retirement fund is invested in these type of bonds 😅😅
You're thinking of Social Security, I presume. It doesn't work that way. Sold as a "pact between the generations" the money that is acquired from earners and employers is mostly sent to SS recipients like me, month by month. It is a very dynamic/volatile pathway. The SSA reports, "Asset reserves grew from about $163 billion at the end of December 1989 to about $2,908 billion ($2.9 trillion) by the end of December 2020. Since the end of December 2020, asset reserves have declined slightly to about $2,767 billion ($2.8 trillion) by the end of March 2024." Not bad!
How does the shoddy construction play into this situation?
Thanks!
Thanks
If everybody is in debt, who do they owe it to.
the lizard people !
The People you will never meet because they live in the Islands being massaged by the young.
Most of the debt is owed to each countries own people&banks because all the governments are selling trust funds. Other countries, investors and foreign banks are also buying those funds.
to themselves and anyone thats sick in the mind to buy Chinese bonds lmfao 🤣
If i give you 1$ the total debt is 1$, then you lend someone 1$ while still owning me my dollar then the total debt is 2$ this is how i understand it
Great Video Joe, Perhaps the next Video should be about the "house of cards" that could fall over if this fails, thanks for sharing
When it fails !!
It is really difficult to figure out who is left holding the bag here. Probably by design. Trillions in debt, but mostly owed from a government corporation to another government entity. Ok, so the government decides one day to write off the debt, or to simply freeze it (effectively already happening). In the real world, the effect would be to stop further development of this type (also effectively already happening). But in money world, what does this mean? It looks to me that this essentially subtracts trillions of yuan from whatever China uses as an equivalent of M2. It appears to me that this also is already happening, visible as the deflation China is experiencing. So, my tea leaves say that China will have to print money by the junk load, forcing Chinese consumers to eat the cost.
"So, my tea leaves say that China will have to print money by the junk load, forcing Chinese consumers to eat the cost."
China has already been doing that for over 30 years.
@MK_ULTRA420 True, but now they can't deny that it will blow BIG TIME on their faces. They got away with it because the pretence was kept on running by both their government and the greedy investors. (especially foreign ones)
already happened last quarter
Their M2 is an order of magnitude higher than the US. I did some research but forgot the number. It was unbelievable. Their currency is a fiction and they're having trouble propping it up. Remember, they import 11 million barrels of oil per day and 70 percent of their food, and most people want dollars for those. They're ina bind.
Tack!
JOE - Any chance you could cover Canada. We have a govt that is determined to climb back down the ladder of prosperity. We have massive immigration (and not the right kind), some of the worlds most expensive housing, a spiraling debt/deficits, lack of foreign investment and a full on frontal assault of our resource industries. I lived here my whole life (I just retired) and I have never seen the country slide as much as it has in the last decade.
Some very disturbing reports about savers in China having their bank deposits forcibly appropriated to purchase local government bonds.
I realized at an early age that sweeping the crud under the rug would just make an even larger, more intimidating mess for me to clean up in the future. It's not a Chinese proverb, but it probably needs to be one. Just with fancy poetics.
Fantastic work Joe! Cleared up so much for me!
Thanks for the brief!
For a sense of scale, local governments in 2019, before the pandemic hit, were funding anywhere from 25% to 40% of their normal operating budgets through LGFVs.
They seem to have failed to factor in the declining population effect of the one-child policy on property demand
Nothing tells a story like a chart
It’s nothing compared to USA’s 35t. At least their 9t is disasters of their failed projects. Most of 35t of USA’s spent on others.
still trying to figure where does the 5% growth rate comes from, cant find a answer.
Always to boot.
Party requirement. And if the reality does not match what the party wants, that's reality's problem.

It will be a very unpleasant winter for many European countries this year. Its even worse when you dont have enough saved up. At this point, the thoughts of retirement scares the hell outta me. Its been a really bad year for me and my investments. The market conditions these days are really causing me a lot of stress. I'm worried this could put a wrench in my retirement plans. Exhausting!
I was a stay at Home mom with no money in my IRA or any savings of my own, which was scary at 53 years of age. Three years ago I got a part time job and save everything I make. After 3 years, I am 56 yo and have put $9,000 in an IRA and $40,000 in my portfolio with CFA, Abby Joseph Cohen. Since the goal of getting a job was to invest for retirement and NOT up my lifestyle, I was able to scale this quickly to $150,000. If I can do this in a year, anyone can.
I'm happy Abby is gaining the recognition she deserves.
The market's top signal provider. Highly knowledgeable and level-headed
I went from no money to lnvest with to busting my A** off on Uber eats for four months to raise about $20k to start trading with Abby Joseph Cohen. I am at $128k right now and LOVING that you have to bring this up here

Chinese local authorities were also duped by local manufacturers.
Under a state system, manufacturers could claim big support grants from local authorities if companies hit certain targets.
So many companies abused the system, massaged figures or over-produced electric car and bikes etc and created shortfalls in local authority coffers!
That's why we saw fields of unsold electric cars and mountains of unsold bikes!

When the title said vehicle I thought we were getting a video about EVs from china that are heavily subsidised and how they can’t sell them.Maybe a video about them in the future
Allowing local authorities to do xyz is always a bad idea in the end, it leads to inefficient capital raising and spending, and also unnecessary redundancies and extra useless government personnel that make everything that needs doing more costly. This is an universal truth and not for china only.
One nation needs to have one set of policies and government, not a myriad small ones 'empowered' to do, over time, whatever they want to.
Investing in this economy is a hell at times for the average person that wants full control of their finances, Even investing in ETF stocks can be risky
Well, I gotta admit, I took a hit in the profit department with my stock moves. But hey, every red chart has a chance to turn green, right? Time to step up my trading game and flip that chart for the better.
The question to be asked at times is not if the government or the economy is responsible for the sudden dramatic shifts in the economy but if we are taking the necessary measures to avoid making losses no matter the situation even if the pay roll is not in your favor.
One of the reasons i follow up these stock videos is to improve the returns of my investments and i can’t really say I’ve been seeing noticeable change though …. I’ll keep following to improve my investment philosophy anyway and find better ways to create smarter investments.
What would you consider the necessary measures though? I was at a seminar two days ago where investors gave their opinions on how we can better investment for proper returns.
@@John-ww2fv At times not just creating smart investments but buying assets can improve your profit margins in the long run.
I feel so bad for the average Chinese citizen having to deal with all this. The government limits where you can invest your money, creating a situation where basically a house is the only thing you can put money into that you know will be there when you need it and then the government creates a situation that results in you not even being able to get the house you paid for. Now the local governments are insolvent and the outlook of everything looks like it's going from bad to worse. Hopefully the government will take care of them, bit given the actions of the government to date I wouldn't be holding my breath.
Fortunately, those farmers' children, who are stupid not to buy any real estate because they know nothing but only farming, are the ones who don't lose their money. 💰🤣💰
If the majority of bond holders are Chinese citizens, it shouldn't be a problem to "convince" them to accept a late payment plan.
They'll pay the local bond holders but default on overseas debt
@@neon1899Off the top of my head (I don't have hard numbers, so I might be wrong), those bond are mostly issued within Chinese market. The central bank did packaged some of the debt and sell it in Hong Kong, but it is just a small amount.

That’s cool putting all your eggs in one basket. Not very smart to do what they did when it came to housing market everything goes up. Everything comes down. But this is one big thud from China.
The Infrastructure must be amazing after spending $9T, right ?
😂
Tofu Dregs is a thing in China. A good chunk of that 9t worth of "investments" are essentially rubble with the rest, to become rubble when the structural integrity of the building fails.
Yes that is a big total of debt. But it is important to understand that my understanding of the local gov debt is owned to other Chinese not overseas creditors. I'm not fully informed but I believe most of the local debt essentially comes from domestic banks who also manage investment funds of chinese people. So, when the local gov can't pay it's interest the central gov seems to be simply "printing" money and transfering that to local gov accounts. Also, local small chinese people will also just lose their funds in the banks that were "invested" with the local gov. so, it is noting like the catastrophe of nations defaulting on their foreign debts but rather is tantamount to an internal transfer of wealth from chinese investors to the State. The people will also pay the inflation caused by the central gov printing money. It is a bit like if one of your companies owes another one of your companies and one defaults on the loan to other. You haven't actually lost any money but rather there is transfer of wealth from lending company to the debtor company. China doens't seem to have an inflation problem but rather a deflation problem so printing money and bailing out failing banks and local govs has a long way to go before it causes high inflation. So, it's nothing like the problem you might think. The other thing is that China has a massive balance of trade surplus so every year it builds huge reserves of foriegn currencies. This is also completely opposite of most other coutnries. Countries with foriegn debt and a trade deficit can very quickly default and chaos ensures. But China is structurally completely different.
Problem is that system works fine when people are buying their goods but tariffs and nobody wanting their products anymore because of the way they’re acting is turning into a major problem for China.
Normies loosing their and their extended families life savings is far from minor issue. It's gonna splash big time there.
@@JaysqualitypartsI wish people would avoid buying Chinese made products but I fear their consumerist habits won’t change any time soon.
Great work Thanks for posting!
Couldn't happen to a nicer country.
Planets are like animals: every one needs an a**hole.
I’m starting to think Joe is a CIA propagandist!! 😂😂
He is merely using their own numbers. There is even more problems as the shadow money in China is quite high.
Thank you,Joe; very interesting indeed.
The PRC is a country wherein historically people have saved over 1/3 of their income. Before the housing boom that started in the late 1990s, the money was put into low interest state bank accounts. You were expected to support yourself in your retirement and your parents. It was a one child only country. Moreover, the central government pays only about 10% of the national health bill because for decades, hospitals have been designated as profit and loss centers and have to be self sufficient.
The following is what will happen.
1. People will be forced to roll their bonds into bonds with a maturity of 100 years.
2. The bonds will be worthless because no one will want to buy your bonds and wait 100 years to collect.
3. Your retirement money is gone.
At the same time, unless the policy is changed, you cannot declare bankruptcy and be freed from paying on a mortgage.
The last blow is that cities do not impose income, property, or sales taxes. The funds for improvements like streets, lights, government buildings and services has come from selling leases to builders who are no longer building.
The economic corrective measures will be starvation, earlier deaths, a reduced standard of living, substantially less investments in public works, a lesser educated population, reduced efficiency in the economy and a reversion to a lower industrialized society.
Very in depth
By the map of debt to GDP in each province, only rich parts of the country have less than 100%, and all other less productive areas are the worst leveraged. So, that should mean default is far more likely for these areas.
Tks Joe.
Cda.
scary situation. good video, Blogs.
Of course the state will have to foot the bill the way the state always does. On the backs of the people that they're supposed to serve. As individual investors they're screwed. As depositors they're screwed. As "social debtors", they're screwed. After that, there's still millions of unoccupied or unbuilt "units" of housing. What an unmitigated disaster.
I'm a father, i have 2 kids, and i'm so tired but at the same time very angry. They constantly threaten the world, but I'm not scared of their threats and i'm ready to do what is necessary to protect my family.
So investors in these bonds are holding the bag. As are investors in the development companies. As are those apartment buyers who paid for non-completed apartments. And the banks who financed all this.
Sounds like ‘The Great Hargassian Goat Bubble’ once again. Everyone wins, everyone gets richer and nobody thinks whether the concept that everyone can get richer is a valid premise.
Great video as always
Great video
