World's Richest Governments.




We know the world's richest man is Carlos Slim Helu of Mexico,

After the two richest men in the world , Bill Gates n Warrent Buffet ,gave away most of their fortune to charity )

You'll have to check with Forbes for the rest.

How about governments?

Which government is the richest (having most money that is, in US$)?

If you are expecting North American and European nations, wrong .........

While the countries may look rich, wealthy European nations can't withstand a prolonged major financial crisis, just like Greece.

The USA might have the biggest economy, but the American government is not at all rich;

(in fact, it can't even take out US$150bn if asked to now without resorting to borrowing.)

To date the US government has borrowed $14.5 trillion!

The UK, likewise, while the country/people are well off, the government isn't.

The UK government's debt stands at $9 trillion now!
