Who is holding Greek debt?
The web site Wallstreetcheatsheet.com has a list of who will be affected by a Greek default, basing their numbers on a March 2011 report from "Bank of International Settlements." I have regularly read that banks are trying to keep the true numbers of their loan exposure as secret as possible, so these numbers must be rather loose approximations:
- Japan: $500 million USD
- Spain: $600 million USD
- United States: $1.8 billion USD
- Italy: $2.6 billion USD
- United Kingdom: $3.2 billion USD
- France: $19.8 billion USD
- Germany: $26.3 billion USD
- "other" banks in eurozone: $15.7 billion USD TOTAL: approx $70 billion USD
