An economist is comparing two hypothetical countries and has gathered the following data:
- Country X: Has a GDP per capita of $60,000. The total value of all financial liabilities in the country is equal to 200% of its GDP. 98% of its adult population uses formal financial services.
- Country Y: Has a GDP per capita of $4,000. The total value of all financial liabilities in the country is equal to 35% of its GDP. 25% of its adult population uses formal financial services.
Based on this information, which statement best analyzes the relationship between national wealth and financial systems in these two countries?
