Global debt is the countries being indebted to the people. It's a good thing. It measures the amount we have managed to stretch the capital and the level of trust in the system. The bigger it grows, the better it gets. Just a matter of time now before we are all wealthy and space flight will be possible in our lives.

when subprime mortgage crisis which is just debt happened, japan with divine insight and direction bought up all the debts which causes them to hold around 1 trillion dollars of USA debt. No other sane country would do that because it's just bad business decision but japan somehow did it and made it an economic dead hand system.

What about it? Imagine thinking debt to GDP has any meaning, when it's debt to total assets that matters.
For fucks sake, whenever you subscribe to a mortgage to buy a house, by the same metric you're indebted usually up to 500% over your salary. Doesn't matter.
Heck, Tim Apple must have a salary of a symbolic 1 dollar or some shit. By the same metric when he contracts a mortgage to buy a house or a boat or whatever, he would be infinitely indebted.
What matters is not the flux, it's the stock.

>>
>>536699902
Yes you can, they just need to sell it as bond to foreign countries like the USA did many times over. Though it may bite them in the ass in the future.
>>
>>536697153
I actually know a shit ton about this. Apparently, Japan overwhelmingly invests in foreign assets cause there's no interest on government loans. The fact they're doing this will collapse the global bonds industry.

>>536697220
TL;DR, Japan is retarded and gave their citizens a free money hack which makes them overwhelmingly take government loans even when government doesn't need the money. This was done to stimulate the investment economy, btw.
>>536697878
no, other people would buy the debt. You can't do a bank run on government bonds, they have a term to expiration. TL;DR, if they need to pay back their loans because there's now interest, they'll sell the bonds for cheaper, and then pay off their loans with that money and if needed whatever they have out of pocket to make up the difference, probably still making a profit. Bonds don't come to being until their contractually obligated expiration date. What's more a problem is US cannot rely on Japanese investors autobuying all the bonds they print now.

Everyone knew it was gonna happen eventually, this will indeed collapse the Japanese economy harder now, but it's probably a good thing, cause their entire nation (at least the smart people in that nation) was living on a very convoluted capital gains welfare system. And 1% is not killer, just yah know, gonna make people really think about the future of their investments and probably divest a tad.

Also this is why you do not have 0% interest loans on financial services and such. I'd be more specific, but I don't remember everything.
>>
>>536700200
Hmm, I wouldn't be concerned about domestic behavior on the increased interest rate, it's more like that the foreign borrowers are now forced to pay japan since they can't do carry trade anymore and bringing back foreign held JPY back into japan. Sure some zombie company will be bankrupted since there is no more free money, but for over 5 decades the japanese has enjoyed inflation free economy at the cost of increasing domestic debt because japan keeps printing money only to be bought by foreign investors which keeps the japanese economy in a zombie state.
Interest rate on loans and mortgage has been pretty low, if you're a native japanese born, it's not rare to get 0.0x% interest rate.
>>
>>536699235
yeah, so that's their stock market. IDK what to tell you, but Japanese economy is a bucket of shit being propped up by low interest loans for capital goods. once you kick out the legs, shit goes absolutely everywhere.

Also to clarify, the extremely low interest rates is cause Japanese people are super Jews and don't take normal loans even when it would help them. This actually hurt economic growth, so loans have to be incredibly generous to get anywhere in Japan.

Japanese person: This is now a 1% yearly interest loan that comes to term in 40 years, with possibility to renegotiate if necessary. It's a scam. Delay the creation of my profitable business 40 years. We'll do it without taking a loan.

American person: If I increase the interest rate, I get more money. That means I live like a king for 1 year with 1% of it, and invest the rest, then I either pay it back or die. Perfectly acceptable. I'll just pay it off with more loans with the money from the loans that I converted into business as collateral. Hey it worked! Let's do it again! Hey it worked, let's do it again!

And yes, this is literally how the US economy gets gazillionaires like Elon Musk, only at this point, Musk actually isn't generating revenue through profitable business, he's entirely hype. Absolutely crazy.
>>
>>536700473
no, they don't pay Japan, cause they don't give a rats ass who owns their debt. The debt isn't actually anything meaningful like owning a share in company, it is purely we need the money now, we'll pay you back at this date. That is what a bond is, and governments generally only do that. Note most government pay off their bonds with new money from bonds so that's uh where the whoopsie comes in. So to keep doing that, the bonds need to be kept increasingly favorable or else the government just doesn't get money from putting out loans. This system works really well, and there's no risk of any issues beyond government has slightly less money to fund social services long term to be able to do it now.

Eat japanese people, cut their thighs into delicate cutlets
>>
>>536697220
debt is held mostly by japanese, so it's not as bad as number says.
>>
>>536700473
Also uh, to continue, no zombie company will go bankrupt from this, terms are still overwhelmingly favorable. The carry trade thing I didn't hear about, that's probably more influential yeah. This is still very much a 50 years into the future thing, cause interest rates probably will continue to climb over time to where they should naturally rest given the predicted policy decisions. Making this a slow process is a good idea though.
>>
>>536700878
This is true, japanese are extremely risk averse. Also to give more context, social and family support is still very strong, so if someone wants to take mortgage, they often paid 50% of the house's price before even taking the mortgage to not take too much loan.
>>
>>536701303
Zombie japanese companies are already falling due to the interest rate increase from 0% to 0.1% back then, it's just that so many companies are taking debt which is free money anyway and prop up their failing business.
Carry trade is pretty much the reason why japan's domestic debt is so high since the BOJ keep printing money to lend to foreign countries while they write it in their book that it's a debt to the japanese people. Having interest rate increase will no longer make JPY free money for traders and investors alike.
>>
>>536701185
Yeah, says the American who spends 500 bucks a month or more in 20% interest credit card debt to prove they can handle the ability to own a credit card to lenders. The issue isn't that 1% is a lot. It's that it's going from 0% to 1%. And yes, this is new. Between like 1990s and 2021 interest rates were literally 0% for many many loans (still are likely people loaning for that low, but yah know). Obviously a lot of potential buyers of government loans just dried up and are putting their money elsewhere.

>>
>>536701413
ah yeah that makes sense. I figured it was people taking out government loans and going ham. If people are backing failing businesses with this then yeah they'll go bankrupt. I thought you meant zombies were shell companies. Fair enough, I hadn't thought of using no interest loans into foreign bonds to prop up a failing business. That's a very wild scheme, and I'd think you'd just close the failing business. Do you have any examples? I'll look, who's the largest company hit?
>>
>>536701568
Uh, that's not gonna happen for the foreseeable future. This is Japan basically ending their heavily discounted price controls, they were doing that.

Also if you want to make a lot of money on the bonds market, take a loan from the japanese and do arbitrage. :)

You'll have to do the math though and make sure it's arbitrage. I don't remember how much that makes either.

I don't understand how no one in Japan just made some bullshit company, took a shitload in loans and just bought a ton or real estate and became a local Daimyo

>>
>>536701588
Yeah, literally zombie company that stayed alive due to the low interest rate. I can't say one company for sure, but there are lots of manufacturing factories and small shops in japan that closed down due to failure to pay their loan's interest since major company won't be affected as much due to their revenue.

>>536702374
Well, no. They got into this mess cause nobody in Japan took loans, so their bright idea was 0% interest loans. That's the consequence. Pretty quick to solve, I'm also sure some of these zombie companies are voluntarily saying "yeah we're fricking up our nation, it's still profitable, but we'll disband." Some are doing this cause they expect rates to go up, some are doing this genuinely cause Japan is like that.

No, the bubble that japan built and then popped in the late 80's was due to speculation into real estate. the bank of japan gave out basically free money with which japs used to buy everything they could including shit like pebble beach golf course and 7-11's. Remember when a square foot of prime japanese real estate was worth more than all of the real estate in the US at the time. That bubble was due to free money from the japanese bank and its why they blew up their economy and subsequently had decade after decade of stagnation and decline (the lost decades) because the japs tried to save face and pretend everything was going to be okay.

cows are finally coming home to rest.

The only real estate good for investment is the one in Monaco. Not to live there but to park your money there. Ideally rent it out as tax residency anchors through a Liechtenstein trust for 10k a month for at least 12 months (minimum for residency requirements) or live in Montenegro for cheap which taxes offshore income at 0%

Yes but no. The bubble burst because of extreme appreciation of yen against the usd and other currencies in a short amount of time due to the plaza accord. If the yen doesn't appreciate, discount rate can be applied continuously and asset price will keep climbing causing japan to become a global super power as it'll be a self strengthening loop of japanese export coupled with japan buying foreign assets with the money from export.
This is what china is exactly doing right now btw.

Which is why the plaza accord was proposed my guy. Yen depreciating is HORRIBLE for the USA and other countries due to the extreme trade imbalance. Yen appreciating to 200 was the trigger which caused the bubble to pop since people would rather hold cash than use it to oil the economic machine.

Yes and no, does the plaza accord have contribution towards japan's economy tanking? Yes. Is it the only contribution? No. The fact is, japanese corporation has bought up lands because japanese companies are anti selling stocks. This makes real estate the only venue they can grow their capital. This makes real estate reflect stock market behavior. Since real estate is a limited asset, this is not good and can cause a financial crisis unlike stock which are technically unlimited resource. Coupled with the fact that japan was moving away from zaibatsu economy, the very same economic model that causes the entirety of south korea to be controlled by 4 corporations, and BOJ's mishandling of the situation, it causes the bubble to burst.
Actually you can see this being mirrored 1:1 by china's economy down to the pegged CNY to the USD. The only difference is that china have more power than japan to defy the usa which is why china's bubble will not be bursting any time soon.

But Japan did. Japan offloaded nearly $100B in US bonds in order to alleviate the falling Yen. Little good that did, because in 2 months, it went back to 1 USD = 160 Yen again. And Japan might do another currency intervention.

China was. Ignore your other reply. China was the biggest debt holder of the US in 2008, since they were one of the few nations unaffected by the US housing bubble crisis, with no economic contraction. But ever since the US started using sanctions on countries, China thought the same thing could happen to them, and has since halved their US debt holdings in the past 10 years.
