!["There are echoes of the global financial crisis in what we're seeing now," she says. "Private credit has gone from nothing to two and a half trillion dollars in the last 15 to 20 years. There is leverage [borrowed money], there's opacity, there's complexity, there's interconnections with the rest of the financial system. All of that rhymes with what we saw in the GFC."
She's also worried that a lot of the money lent by private credit funds has itself been borrowed, creating layers of debt - or leverage - that can amplify any losses.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:oe5cp7g3gsjflt6nlfw43ok5/bafkreihcsvwabmf7woufzyfjikuol4qcrbke3azynzj4dcllpapv2tmi2i)
![Those learning Cantonese may feel frustrated that, despite efforts to standardise Cantonese romanisations, most native Cantonese speakers, regardless of their level of education, are unfamiliar with any romanisation beyond the conventional, Latin-letter spellings of Cantonese names. Because Cantonese is primarily a spoken language, meaning that its speakers do not in most genres of writing use its own writing-system (instead, in most of their writing, despite having some Chinese characters unique to Cantonese, primarily following modern standard Chinese, which is closely tied to Mandarin), therefore, it is not taught in schools.[citation needed] As a result, locals do not learn any of these systems. In contrast to the general use of romanisation in Mandarin-speaking areas of China, systems of romanisation for Cantonese are excluded from the educational systems of both Hong Kong and the province of Guangdong. In practice, Hong Kong follows a loose, unnamed romanisation-scheme used by the Government of Hong Kong.
Google's Cantonese input uses Yale, Jyutping, or Cantonese Pinyin (ILE romanisation), the Yale being the first standard.[86][87]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:oe5cp7g3gsjflt6nlfw43ok5/bafkreiaraj653b3ppq6qaj5lle4io4fzhojhcr4o4d67276qdxqcbbsl7q)
