It is said that Japan has debut more than 1quadrillion yen…
Some say “It would go bankrupt”, but some other say “We cannot judge without seeing balance sheet”. Actually the situation of Japan is “Property > Debt”. There is 250 trillion difference, so we could say Japan is the richest country.
We often hear that “calculating this as debt per person”… Debt of government is outstanding issue of national debt. 95% of purchasers of this national debt is banks or institutional investors. Banks use our deposit or savings like pension. Some people think that general people don’t owe debt, but they are even creditors.
Anyway, it is true five economical base “government” “financial institution” “nonfinancial incorporated enterprises” “family budget” and “NPO” have huge debt.
