During a speech at the Russian parliament, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov claimed that the international system built by the US and their allies has become obsolete and the emerging centers of power on other continents are proof. https://t.co/ERgyd0LuZN
We think Lavrov is being straight about using gold to balance trade deficits/surpluses within BRICS rather than creating a BRICS currency. Not helpful to have false expectations. We think Feb 22 is the G7 FM meeting re seizing Russia's $300B frozen reserves for Ukraine. $SA https://t.co/k1oZ5z6xOj
Russian Foreign Minister admits that there is “almost no prospect” of creating a BRICS currency. As I have been saying... https://t.co/3JCkX9QDTO
This is our view. Why is a new BRICS common currency needed when that's the traditional role of gold...the universally accepted medium for final settlement that can be objectively measured in weight, unlike BTC. $SA https://t.co/We3IJZJny8
Putin effectively told everyone why a BRICS common currency has no prospects in his Tucker Carlson interview: Rapidly increasing trade volumes in local FX, being recycled into BRICS-produced goods (with any remaining net surpluses being stored in gold by BRICS Central Banks.) https://t.co/2pkkOALJLh
