Yeah but don’t major problems usually take the form of debt chains being forcibly unwound? Like default happens somewhere, expected money doesn’t land, that next entity who was receiving the debt money that defaulted defaults on something because now they can’t pay, expected debt payment money from them doesn’t land, that next entity etc.

So I think it’s not about how much of the debt is this, it would be about how intertwined it is with other things.

I’m not claiming it’s major btw, I’m just clarifying that in my understanding it could be a small percent but still end up causing default cascades, or it could be a large percent and not, depending on the debt graph.
