      It doesn’t exist does it? I thought it was called F(ormer) Y(ugoslavian) R(epublic) Macedonia. Macedonia is part of Greece. 

      To be honest Germany should be on negative watch. Austria needs to be a notch or two lower because of its banks problems in Hungary and elsewhere. Same for Sweden with its Baltic exposure. The Netherlands and Australia have big property bubbles which will impose huge losses when they strike. Belgium also has banks in trouble. I am surprised that Lebanon is so lowly rated considering that their banks emerged unscathed from the global financial crisis and are far more prudently run.
