I have no ability to explain it. My guess is that it includes, among other things, the billions of US transfers, both government, and personal that are tax deductible. but please give us your interpretation. I was just checking your unsourced figures.

If you haven't read "The Tower of Basel," by Adam Lebor, about the role of the B.I.S. and financial machinations during the period between the two world wars, and subsequent. I wouldn't be surprised to find this rarely discussed institution somewhere in the background.

The link isn't the issue. You asked me to explain how this happened. I replied to that.
