I haven't read the report but I'd have to say the biggest risks come from abroad now rather than within. A slow down in the States or an implosion in Europe would certainly cause shock-waves here, though ironically, the UK seems to have established itself as a safe haven. Who'd have thought eh?

It was a medium-term risky country which now has a Government that seems to be trying to take substantive measures to tackle debt. Also, it has a population that is also take substantive measures to tackle their individual debts.

The problem of unfunded liabilities remains. That won't be an immediate problem for a while anyway.

I think if you look back a couple of years you will see many predictions for the demise of the Euro on this very forum, the only surprise being how strong it is still.
