Hence updated with Switzerland.

1. Ozeania +8.1%
2. Switzerland +6.9%
3. Germany +5.8%
4. Canada +4.3%
5. Sweden +2.6%
6. UK +0.9%
7. Dutch +0.7%
8. USA -2.1%
9. Japan -2.3%
10. Italy -3.1%

remember that Japan’s population is falling, while the US, but also the Swiss is growing.

And this is the figure that counts for the United States and the dollar.

If we look at the strong employment figures even since before the crisis and add the strong improvements in emerging markets, we understand why stock markets were trading at record-highs. But:

Why do not need all this money printing for?

Just because the U.S. has been so weak and the whole world needs to copy them?
