Answer to Question 1

The riskiness of debt is perceived differently around the world. The average debt ratio in Germany, Italy, Japan, and numerous developing economies typically exceeds 50 percent. High reliance on debt financing can arise if a country lacks a well-developed stock market or other systems for obtaining capital from equity sources. Under such conditions, firms may have little choice but to borrow money from banks. In other nations, firms maintain close relationships with banks. In Japan, large MNEs are often part of a conglomerate or holding company that includes a bank. Sony Corporation has its own bank, Sony Bank.
