Yep, those manufacturing companies need to get in gear and export that sort of stuff quicker - it took at least ten years to get personal blood pressure monitors over here - mobile phones - don't go there! The manufacturers here have been asleep at the wheel for years!
It's a big debt,yes. The sad thing is that it's been created almost exclusively by bureacrat bankers' mismanagement of loans.
Innovation counts for something though - without it there's no future for a country (see UK for reference point):/
