$65 Trillion in Debt You Can’t Find

 Accounting conventions have hidden immense amounts of foreign-exchange liabilities. We might not know where they are until the next crisis.

Sixty-five trillion dollars is a not big number: It’s a huge, barely comprehensible number. 

It’s more than 2 1/2 times the size of the entire US Treasury market, the world’s biggest. It’s 14% of the value of all financial assets globally, according to a tally from the Bank for International Settlements.

It’s also the value of hidden dollar debt unrecorded on the balance sheets of non-US banks and shadow banks
