We have an open economy? What do you mean by that term? I don't know the technical meaning of bankrupt, if there is a special definition for government bodies, I'm using it in the everyday sense. Of course the government in a sense can't truly go bankrupt when it can simply print notes to pay off its debts. But it amounts to the same thing.
