<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 2195210, member: 15199&quot;]If a person checks, very very little if any of foreign debt&nbsp; ( by any country ) is callable ( able to demand payment at any time), but only if at specific times if payment ( as specified by the bond or instrument ) is in default. Countries have defaulted on their debts in many ways, and still continue on, they do not become the holding country&#039;s property. Trust in that payments will be made properly is what determines the value of the bonds, etc., and the US is very high in that area. I could see in the future when a ruling political party&nbsp; might wish to default rather than pay, but that is a way in the future. The chart indicates the bonds each country has outstanding, but not the value each holds in other countries bond debt, some going back for decades.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
