Davidson (Senior Fellow at the American Antitrust Institute) revealed that the unregulated securities derivatives market (not Cayman’s deposits!) created by the famous Commodities Futures Modernization Act (CFMA) passed in 2000 is “generally evaluated between $200 trillion and $600 trillion.”
This numbers suggest two comments:
(1) the margin ($200 to $600 trillion) indicates the huge unknown part of the shadow finance which still today put at enormous risk the world financial system;
(2) the comparison between those numbers and the annual GDP of all the world’s (real) economies, i.e. $60 trillion.
