World's Richest Government

Interesting attachment for those who are financially inclined to get a better perspective on the world's economies
Enjoy and Have a Great Week !
We know the world's richest man is Carlos Slim Helu of Mexico, followed by Bill Gates and Warren Buffet of USA .

How about governments ?

Which countries’ government is the richest (having most money that is, in US$)

If you are expecting North American and European nations, you might be disappointed.
While the countries look rich, wealthy European nations can't withstand a prolonged major financial crisis, just like Greece .
The USA might have the biggest economy, but the American government is not at all rich; in fact, it can't even take out $150bn if asked to now without resorting to borrowing.
To date the US government has borrowed $14 trillion !
The UK , likewise, while the country/people are rich, the government isn't.
The UK government’s debt stands at $9 trillion now.

Big national reserves doesn't guarantee prosperity however, for instance, the yearly expenses for China 's government is $1.11 trillion, their government must always think of economic growth and making more money.
    
China’s gov't overspent $110bn last year, much on it towards modernizing their military, if it goes on like this their reserves can only last for 22 yrs.
    
The Malaysian gov't overspent $13bn last year, if it goes on like this their reserves can only last for 7 yrs.
    
The Singaporean government overspent $3bn last year, much of it rescuing their banks from financial crisis, if it goes on like this their reserves can last 68 yrs.
    
The Swiss gov't overspent $1bn last year, if it goes on like this their reserves can last 262 yrs.
