Is this the new model of our world?
Global funding gap
According to the following data, the impact on the senses is considerable.

China's local government debt due in 2012 was 1.84 trillion yuan, according to the China audit office.
The European Banking authority (EBA) requires banks to have a capital adequacy ratio of 9% by June 30, with a funding gap of 115 billion euros.

Morgan Stanley estimates that by August 2013, the scale of deleveraging of European banks will reach 1.5-2 trillion euros. Russia hopes to cut its deficit to 2.9% in 2012 and reach budget balance in 2015, ready for privatization.
