Over 1 Trillion Dollars Worth of Credit Default Swaps Against Governments
The Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation made some information public today about Credit Default Swaps.
There are between $33 trillion and $47 trillion or so in CDS still outstanding, even after the Lehman CDS were settled (PNB Paribas estimates that as much as 40% of the CDS market - including much of the market for CDS on collateralized debt obligations - is "off-the-books" and unreported).
Approximately 1.5 trillion of that is CDS concerning "Sovereign / State Bodies", in other words, countries. Some of the countries against which CDS bets are being made, and the amounts of CDS bets, include:
