It's not great, but its not bad eithe...@Zuo De<br /><br />It's not great, but its not bad either. We're actually expecting a (marginally) better second half and stronger growth in 2017. DOS reports pretty strong retail sales so far this year, although I suspect its spread unevenly and there is also the impact of growing online sales.<br /><br />Loan approval ratios are actually running at around 40% (approvals ÷ applications),hishamhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06265308095732759923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6297413898275266606.post-85703648928992565952016-08-24T11:49:12.148+08:002016-08-24T11:49:12.148+08:00@Group 8,

Absolutely, and not just country...@James Fernandez<br /><br />Absolutely, and not just country comparisons either. Unlike debt, which is relatively straightforward, different categories of contingent liabilities can have very different probabilities of being called. Adding up doesn't make sense.<br /><br />Even debt is not always what it seems.

Hardware shops are reporting a 50% drop in revenue.

That is why people still buy US debt and not Argentina's debt.<br /><br />It is a game of perception. There is a limit to how far we can stretch, where as it is almost limitless for USA, and we all know why. If USA collapse, everyone collapse.
