Then: "The FIMA Repo Facility lets foreign central banks post US Treasuries as collateral for short-term dollar loans. Japan holds $1.143 trillion in Treasuries, according to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who asked the Fed to expand the facility's $60 billion lending cap days after the US and Japan jointly intervened to support the yen."
German: "Die FIMA-Repo-Fazilität ermöglicht es ausländischen Zentralbanken, US-Staatsanleihen als Sicherheit für kurzfristige Dollar-Kredite zu hinterlegen. Japan hält 1,143 Billionen US-Dollar an Staatsanleihen, so Finanzminister Scott Bessent, der die Fed Tage nach der gemeinsamen Intervention der USA und Japans zur Stützung des Yen gebeten hatte, die Kreditobergrenze der Fazilität von 60 Milliarden US-Dollar zu erweitern."
Note: Use "1,143 Billionen" (German uses comma as decimal separator? Actually 1.143 trillion in US = 1,143 billion? Wait: $1.143 trillion is 1.143 trillion dollars. In German, we say "1,143 Billionen" (since Billion in German is trillion? Actually careful: In German, "Billion" means trillion (10^12). So 1.143 trillion = 1,143 Billionen. But we can also say "1,143 Billionen US-Dollar". However, to avoid confusion, we can write "1,143 Billionen Dollar". Also note: In German numbers, comma is decimal separator, but here it's thousands? Actually we have "1.143" with a period as thousands separator in English. In German, we use comma for decimal and period for thousands. So "1,143" would be 1.143? No, we need to convert. Actually $1.143 trillion means 1.143 * 10^12. In German, we write "1,143 Billionen" (with comma as decimal separator). But we could also write "1,143 Billionen" but that might be confusing because in German "1,143" means one point one four three? Actually no: In German, comma is decimal separator, so "1,143" would be 1.143 (one point one four three) but that's not right. We need to represent the number correctly. The original says "1.143 trillion" with a period as thousands separator? Actually in English, "1.143 trillion" might be written as "1.143 trillion" meaning 1.143 (one point one four three) trillion? But usually it's written as "$1.143 trillion" meaning 1.143 trillion, i.e., 1,143 billion? Actually it's ambiguous. Let's check: The original says "$1.143 trillion" - in American English, they often use a period as decimal? No, they use comma for thousands. Actually they wrote "1.143 trillion" - that is likely 1.143 trillion (one point one four three trillion) because they use period as decimal separator. But in financial contexts, they might write "1.143 trillion" meaning 1.143 * 10^12. However, they also wrote "$60 billion" - so $60 billion is 60 billion. So $1.143 trillion is 1.143 trillion, which is 1,143 billion. In German, we would say "1,143 Billionen" (since Billion is trillion). But to avoid confusion, we can write "1,143 Billionen US-Dollar" or "1,143 Billionen Dollar". But we need to be accurate. Let's check: The original says "Japan holds $1.143 trillion in Treasuries" - that is 1.143 trillion. In German, we say "1,143 Billionen" (with comma as decimal separator) but that would be 1.143? Actually in German, "1,143" is one point one four three, not one thousand one hundred forty-three. So we need to write "1,143 Billionen" but that would be interpreted as 1.143? No, because in German, the comma is decimal separator, so "1,143" means 1.143 (one point one four three). That would be wrong. We need to write it as "1,143 Billionen" but that is not correct. We should write "1,143 Billionen" but actually we need to use a period as thousands separator? In German, the thousands separator is a period, and the decimal is comma. So to write 1.143 trillion, we should write "1,143 Billionen" with a period? No, let's think: In German, 1.143 trillion would be written as "1,143 Billionen" if we use comma as decimal? Actually, 1.143 trillion is 1,143,000,000,000? No, 1.143 trillion is 1.143 * 10^12 = 1,143,000,000,000? Wait, 1 trillion is 10^12, so 1.143 trillion is 1.143 * 10^12 = 1,143,000,000,000? No, 1.143 * 10^12 = 1,143,000,000,000? Actually 1.143 * 10^12 = 1,143,000,000,000? Let's compute: 1 * 10^12 = 1,000,000,000,000. 0.143 * 10^12 = 143,000,000,000. So total = 1,143,000,000,000. That is 1.143 trillion. In German, that number is written as "1.143.000.000.000" (with periods as thousands separators). But we can also say "1,143 Billionen" if we use comma as decimal? No, because "1,143" would be 1.143, not 1143. So we need to write "1,143 Billionen" but that is ambiguous. Actually, in German, the word "Billion" means trillion (10^12). So "1 Billion" is 1,000,000,000,000. So "1,143 Billionen" would mean 1.143 * 10^12? But
