This is why you will never see us Thais going to your country en masse to find work.
There are 70 million of us and 99% are employed. What's wrong with you?

It's OK, success breeds jealousy.

I remember Thailand 20 years ago people were so much nicer and friendlier.
These days people are so stuck up in thier image and class status that I don't meet as many friendly people.
Japan's honestly just depressing. When I see Japanese come back from vacation at airport I see a hidden sadness at the return to conformity

Check how "absence of misery" is defined in this graph. It is worthless bullshit, as it indicates that deflation is a good thing and low inflation guarantees a strong economy.

>“The budget deficit in Saudi Arabia does go down substantially as a share of GDP over the next five years but it still remains high over this period, all the more reason to identify ways in which it can be brought down further to more a manageable level," he said.
David Butter, associate fellow at Chatham House in London, said a crisis isn’t imminent.
>“They have options of borrowing and then they have other options in terms of structural reform, developing some sort of effective tax policy, maybe some privatization,” he said by phone.
Draining Financial Assets != Bankruptcy
America is "bankrupt" by your retarded definition and that of Independent.
Camden Carter
Saudis have $700 billion in savings. Even if they spent all of those savings they wouldn't be bankrupt.
Bankruptcy is when you don't have enough money to even pay back your bondholders. Saudi's debt/GDP is only 4%.
This is all assuming oil doesn't rise. Nowhere did the IMF state "bankruptcy by 2021 if oil doesn't rise to $85".
Budget breaking even != bankruptcy

There are muslim suicide attacks in thailand every day 2bh]
it's just that nobody cares when it's just thais that die it only makes the news when they hit tourist areas
Parker Peterson
Your claim And your sourcedon't match up
There's no such thing as a state going bankrupt. That's impossible.
If you mean a state defaulting on its debts, then yes that is possible.
But your source has no predictions for when the Saudis would default. It simply states that the $700 billion buffer will be used up by 2021 if CURRENT CONDITIONS persist.

>Saudi Arabia spending 20% of cash reserves a year >Country's credit rating getting downgraded >Saudis just spend billions building 70 new high rises to create a new financial district, and not a single major western bank wants to open shop
But you know what, put all your money into Saudi futures and show the rest of the world how wrong they are.
>they have other options in terms of structural reform, developing some sort of effective tax policy, maybe some privatization,”
This is truly kek worthy, a statement by someone who has zero understanding of Saudi society. There are no taxes in Saudi Arabia that go to the government, only a 2.5% religious tax. Saudi Arabia allows their citizens no individual freedoms, in exchange for no taxes and generous government subsidies. Trying to use taxes as "structural reform" to balance declining cash reserves would piss off the Wahhabis and cause massive unrest in the general population.
Also, stop confusing bankruptcy and insolvency.
Charles White
>700 billion Maybe two years ago.
But these days it's closer to 400 billion, and dropping fast. Saudi's are losing close to 100 billion a year in net assets.
Debt to GDP is a misleading figure. Of course SA has low debt, they're spending over 100 billion a year to avoid that.
SA needed oil at $105/barrell in 2015 to balance their budget then. Recent cuts have brought this down.
You're also a fool if you think oil is going above $60/barrel in the next two years, barring geopolitical events knocking out one or two major suppliers.
