In the next decade alone, 29 countries (EU-17, US, China, Canada, Japan, UK, Brazil, India, Mexico, Australia, S. Korea, Turkey and Poland) will between them see $36.8 TRILLION in debt maturities and, in a world without fear, the rates at which they will need to refinance their bor­rowings will be markedly higher – too high, in fact, for many of them to be able to cope with. At that point in time, no amount of Quantitative Easing will be enough to fix the problems facing the world’s central banks because once the fear of collapse turns to fear of the sovereign bond markets, the game is over.
