Casual Bystander Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Remember that argument that Scotland would just be like Panama if it didn't get a CU? Well the WEF (World Economic Forum) has published it's 2013/14 report, and in it's section relating to which countries banks were considered more sound Panama comes in at 12th. The UK? Well.. keep on scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling... until you get to 89th! http://reports.weforum.org/global-competitiveness-report-2014-2015/rankings/#indicatorId=EOSQ087 That's a bit of a sickener for the nodrones, shooting themselves into the foot once more.

Confidemus Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 BTUKOK really are stumbling from one disaster to the next. If No Thanks had to run their entire campaign again, do you think they'd keep anything the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casual Bystander Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 That link has Panama 12th.... Or am I reading it wrong? Sorry you are right. Still whether their credibility is 65 or 67 places higher than the UK the message is clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I think the most interesting part of these rankings was: Iceland - 121/144 Ireland - 139/144 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Bojangles Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I also saw somewhere that Panama have 8% growth at the moment and was, unsurprisingly, rated as buoyant. Canada kept the old banking rules in place during the crazy years and didn't crash anywhere near as hard as the rest of the developed world. I shudder when I hear the rUK parties (especially UKIP and the Tories) talking about the EU constraining the banks, and a need to cut loose the apron strings.
