In most developing countries, financial service providers are not yet in a position to use modern credit risk management techniques to assess borrowers' risk and thus competitively provide capital, particularly trade finance, to enterprises.

Worse still, massive losses resulting from the materialization of credit risk might jeopardize core eurozone economies debt sustainability, placing the survival of the European Union itself in question.

Indeed, China s slowness to implement an alternative to the investment led, debt financed growth model that has prevailed for the last two decades means that its domestic credit risks are the most significant threat to the global economy today.

Amazingly, global financial markets ignored the credit risks of this sovereign debt, requiring only very small differences between interest rates on German bonds and those of Greece and other peripheral countries.
