  2. Unfortunately I can't find the exact data of the graph. I am pretty sure though they got the data from the Bank of International Settlements Research. In this post you can see the exposure data for Greece:

    And you can check the exposure data for Spain, Italy, Ireland and Portugal in this paper from the BIS (from page 100):
