These are the current approximate yields on 10 year Government bonds:
Australia 4.6%
USA 4.5%
Italy 4.4%
UK 4.2%
Canada 3.7%
France 3.2%
Ireland 2.9%
Germany 2.6%
I'm surprised Ireland's yields are as low as they currently are compared to some of the above. Are we really one of the least risky potential defaulters on the list or what are the other possible reasons?
