Ontmoet de 3e grootste buitenlandse houder van Amerikaans schatkistpapier

Something hilarious, and at the same time pathetic, happened earlier today: at precisely 9 am the US Treasury released its delayed Treasury International Capital data (which was supposed to be released yesterday but was delayed because it snowed) which disclosed all the latest foreign Treasury holdings for the month of January. Among the key numbers tracked and disclosed, was that China's official holdings increased from $1.270 trillion to $1.284 trillion, that Japan holdings declined by a tiny $0.2 billion, that UK holdings increased by $7.8 billion to $171 billion, and that holdings of Caribbean Banking Centers, aka hedge funds, declined by $16.7 billion. Here is REUTERS with the full data summary (save it before this article is pulled).

Ben Bernanke plukt de vruchten van zijn oud-voorzitterschap van het Amerikaanse stelsel van centrale banken.

Ben Bernanke plukt de vruchten van zijn oud-voorzitterschap van het Amerikaanse stelsel van centrale banken.

Voor een lezing van veertig minuten afgelopen dinsdag in Abu Dhabi kreeg de 60-jarige Amerikaan ten minste 250 duizend dollar, meldt REUTERS op basis van anonieme bronnen.

Dat is meer dan Bernanke is zijn gehele laatste jaar als voorzitter van de Federal Reserve verdiende. Toen kon hij bijna 200 duizend dollar bijschrijven op zijn bankrekening.
