这个是should引导的条件句，要求用虚拟语气

1.should a significant number of these debts be repudiated, 这是虚拟语气, 省掉IF, SHOULD 提前.
2.  这个句子还有个倒装, 正常语序: should a significant number of these debts be repudiated, the solvency of some of the world’s largest multinational banks  IS AT STAKE.

大意是: 如果大部分的债务被拒绝偿还的话, 那么世界上很多的跨国银行的偿债能力将很危险.
