Compare those banking debts to banking assets. I think this is just a side effect of the Brits being heavy into banking and the way that debt is counted in this study.

It would be interesting to see if the Swiss have the same "problem".

Assume a lot of the baking assets are in real estate (disaster) and government bonds (looming disaster). It is a scary chart - way too much debt floating around. Seems like a bubble that when popped takes down the entire global economy.
