At the center of concerns are the "PIIGS" nations - Portugal, Italy, Ireland Greece and Spain - heavily indebted countries in danger of default that could trigger an economic domino effect around the globe. In an April 2010 report, the Swiss-based Bank for International Settlements (BIS), a clearinghouse for world’s central banks - reviews central bank data and reveals the countries that are the most exposed to European turmoil, specifically in their banking systems. The numbers presented here take into account foreign claims - investments in the form of loans and bonds that have arisen from PIIGS nations – that are held by international banks headquartered outside the individual countries. If a government defaults on debt, it could carry catastrophic consequences for the country's economy, with the potential to seriously devalue - or potentially wipe out - these assets. For the context of this report, CNBC.com has compared the exposure of countries to the size of their respective financial systems for a percentage of total direct exposure. The exposure numbers only include data from international banks, and does not account for insurance companies or other financial firms. So, which countries are most exposed to the PIIGS?
