Concerns over GCC dependence on US treasury bills and dollar despite debt default optimism | The National:

"Questions have been raised about the GCC’s dependence on US treasury bills and the dollar, even as optimism rises about a deal to avert a debt default by the world’s biggest economy.

GCC governments are among the largest global investors in US treasuries, long considered a safe way to protect the oil wealth of future generations.
