Bloomberg reporting from October 12-13, 2026 describes a circular global financing loop powering the construction of data centers and chip plants, with capital flowing from surplus countries such as China, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan, as well as circular investments among major tech companies. The world’s five largest tech companies are projected to invest over $1 trillion in AI-related projects by 2025-2026, including $720 to $745 billion from the four hyperscalers Amazon, Alphabet, Microsoft, and Meta in 2026 alone.

Global trade imbalances are returning to levels near their 2007-08 peak, and both the BIS and the IMF have warned about the potential for a prolonged investment slump while calling for greater transparency on these opaque financing structures.
