New world currency will topple dollar
MOSCOW
The use of the U.S. dollar to put pressure on other countries will lead to the creation of an alternative world currency, costing the dollar its world currency status, a top Russian deputy told Anadolu Agency on Wednesday.
Anatoly Aksakov, who heads the Russian State Duma Financial Committee, said the dollar gained its “world currency” status in 1944 when, because of World War II, the national currencies of many countries were devalued while the dollar stayed stable. This resulted in more payments in dollars and its domination in international transactions.
“But today the U.S. administration is doing everything for the creation of a new world currency,” he said.
“More and more countries are considering transactions in national currencies. Meanwhile, the BRICS countries, which Turkey seems to be interested in joining, are discussing the possibility of creating a new currency for payments within the BRICS,” he said, referring to the bloc of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa.
The deputy said a BRICS currency would have good prospects, because the bloc possesses half of the world population, 30 percent of the world’s industry, and 40 percent of the world’s agriculture as well as the biggest natural resources deposits.
“The process of creating an alternative world currency can be completed within five years. It will depend on Washington, as the more the U.S. uses the dollar to exert pressure, the more motivation other countries will have to deny payments in the dollar,” he said.
Many countries have already refused the dollar, said Aksakov, citing how China has started buying oil using its yuan, Turkey has withdrawn its gold deposits from the U.S., and Russia has significantly decreased its investments in U.S. government debt.
“Once the alternative world currency appears, the dollar will lose its significance, costing it half its current value. And with the loss of the dollar’s value, the U.S. will lose its influence”, he said.
Currently, the U.S. gross domestic product is some $20 trillion, including $5 trillion in real income, with $15 trillion coming from other countries using the dollar, he said, saying we should consider what losing that $15 trillion would cost the U.S.
Separately, Leonid Slutsky, head of the State Duma’s Foreign Affairs Committee, told Anadolu Agency that Russia is standing by Turkey in a difficult situation.
“We are here, with our Turkish friends. We’re glad to see that lira has started to recover from the first shock,” he said.
“Russia got a similar shock when the ruble’s value fell sharply in 2014. But it’s not the end of days.
“Turkey has all the necessary resources — political will, intellectual power — to deal with this challenge. Turkey is not a country that can be suppressed by attacking its national value.”

Russia exports over twice as much oil as it uses for domestic consumption MM, and countries with the ‘weakest economies’ are already quite accustomed to living with much less than we do here in North America. They have nowhere near as far to fall.

I never said that! You are lying as usual! I said I enjoy trolling you, in particular, not trolling, in general. I have never trolled any site or person before in my entire life, Exceptionalist. And, I would much rather enjoy a functioning board, but if you are going to ruin this board with your insults, lies, and bullying like you have been doing for over five years then I will troll YOU. And I never said that I don’t care about annoying people, I do, but I enjoy annoying YOU. You are the problem here, Davy, not me. I am just reacting to your abusive behavior and giving you some of your own medicine. You don’t like it when I abuse you and insult you, right? Well, others, motherfucker, don’t enjoy it either when you do it to them. Do you get my point or are you too thick to get it? You can stop this right now by stopping your abuse, but if you don’t, I will keep fucking with you indefinitely. I will NOT end this EVER. YOU need to end this because YOU started it.

A very generalized statement typical out of you and your anti-western agenda. Of course those with the least will have the worst at some point but it will depend greatly on multiple different scenarios. Mass starvation is possible in many places you think will suffer the least. Your romanticized ideas of the third world get the better of you. Trying being less emotional greggie and more scientific.

“Unless Erdogan Changes Course,” El-Erian Warns Of “Much Wider Damage… Not Just In Turkey”
https://tinyurl.com/ybmgp79h
“Rather than sticking with the approach taken by numerous other countries – including Argentina earlier this year – by raising interest rates and seeking some form of IMF support, Turkey has shunned both in a very public manner. Unless it changes course, the government risks much wider damage – and not just in Turkey.”
“Whether by accident or design, Turkey is trying to rewrite the chapter on crisis management in the emerging-market playbook. Rather than opting for interest-rate hikes and an external funding anchor to support domestic policy adjustments, the government has adopted a mix of less direct and more partial measures – and this at a time when Turkey is in the midst of an escalating tariff tit-for-tat with the United States, as well as operating in a more fluid global economy. How all this plays out is important not only for Turkey, but also for other emerging economies that already have had to cope with waves of financial contagion.”
GregT on Fri, 17th Aug 2018 1:46 pm
“Most economic hitmen, or employees of corporations that control the World Bank and IMF are sworn to secrecy and well paid off. Economic hitmen are well dressed university educated international racketeers. Their boss, the World Bank and IMF use these men to take over governments or bribe leaders of developing countries in order to secure the natural resources for the western. All while holding developing countries under their thumb with debt.”
“With the raping of the third world and all the planets resources for that matter, the day is coming when this will end. This system in place solely for the benefit of the few and it cannot sustain itself, all the front companies set up to reap the financial success are folding and going bankrupt one by one, day by day. The empire is being exposed from every angle, from every aspect of their political and economic structure.”

Clear evidence of a withdrawal here would the beginning of the end for lenders and companies. Putting these various factors together, JPMorgan has created the following circular schematic, showing Turkey’s so-called “doom loop”, or the negative feedback loop that demonstrates why Erdogan may have no actionable choices to break the country’s toxic spiral:”
“Turkish Lira plunges, central bank hikes rates, raising funding costs for everyone in the economy
Domestic borrowers, unable to fund the surging interest expense, scramble to deleverage
A sharp growth slowdown emerges, even as inflation remains persistently high
Non-performing loans soar as borrowers are unable to repay their lenders
Bank assets liquidation accelerates, raising concerns over the health of the local banking sector
Foreign lenders pull back until there is stability in the economy, meanwhile making FX-debt rollover impossible
The lira plunges more, forcing even higher rates and the cycle repeats anew.”

Turkey accuses US of ‘stab in back’ as currency woes persist
The US last week imposed sanctions on Turkey over its refusal to extradite a US preacher imprisoned in the country.
The sanctions caused market turmoil, which the central bank attempted – but failed – to soothe with a series of market-boosting measures.
Mr Erdogan told a news conference in the Turkish capital, Ankara: “You act on one side as a strategic partner, but on the other, you fire bullets into the foot of your strategic partner.”
“We are together in Nato and then you seek to stab your strategic partner in the back.”
Mr Erdogan has also been getting closer to Russia. That creates an awkward triangle, given that Turkey is a Nato member, Russia is Nato’s number one threat and the organisation is obliged to defend any member that is attacked.

“Virtually Everybody Knew This Was Coming”
https://tinyurl.com/y9j9kxtl
“Was it Turkey’s “executive presidency” and its unwillingness to hike rates in the face of soaring inflation? Or maybe the record global debt accumulated over the past decade? Maybe the artificially low interest rates? Or perhaps it was the pervasive current account deficits amid easy outside capital. How about the rapid slowdown in China, its escalating trade war with the US, and the Yuan devaluation? Or perhaps it’s just the rising US interest rates and global quantitative tightening soaking up billions in excess liquidity? However one justifies the current emerging market crisis, one thing is clear “virtually everybody knew this was coming.”
“Many commentators have thought for some time that Turkey was a macro-accident waiting to happen. But the key issue is not Turkey’s idiosyncratic macro problems. The unfolding crisis in EM is the direct result of Fed tightening and the strong dollar. The Fed always raises rates until something breaks. But Turkey breaking will not be enough to derail this Fed’s tightening mission. But what is the significance of China’s ongoing devaluation in the face of rapidly weakening growth and trade tensions? Is that also playing a role in draining global liquidity from the financial markets?”
“To be sure, it’s hardly rocket science to blame convulsing emerging markets on Fed policy, US interest rates, and a strong dollar. What else can there be, or as Edwards asks, “apart from Turkey-specific issues, has there been anything else that has triggered the immediate EM crisis that we should be watching closely?” The answer to that is yes, China.”
“Which bring us to the conclusion, and the question which Edwards believes no-one is asking: is the entire house of Emerging Market cards about to topple, and is China – the dynamo behind the world’s EM (and DM) growth – losing control of its economy and using the RMB as a cushion? “No-one is asking this question because we have got so used to the China naysayers (such as myself) being wrong that we dismiss their worries out of hand nowadays”, Edwards surmises. And in the very next sentence, he leave with some ominous words: “that is the same complacency that we saw during the run-up to the 2007 financial crisis and indeed in the run-up to the current Turkish crisis, which also defied the bears for so long until now.”
A little less a anti-American thing and a little more a poor fiscal and policy issue. This coupled with a FED policy detrimental to EM countries.

“The Turkish Emerging Market Timebomb”
https://tinyurl.com/yaeeqs2d
“Turkey has a large, persistent current-account deficit, and a belligerent leader who does not realize – or refuses to acknowledge – that his populist economic policies are unsustainable. Moreover, Turkey has become increasingly dependent on overseas investors (and probably some wealthy domestic investors, too)…..Given these slowly gestating factors, markets have long assumed that Turkey was headed for a currency crisis. In fact, such worries were widespread as far back as the fall of 2013”
“Now that the crisis has finally come to pass, it is Turkey’s population that will bear the brunt of it. The country must drastically tighten its domestic monetary policy, curtail foreign borrowing, and prepare for the likelihood of a full-blown economic recession, during which time domestic saving will slowly have to be rebuilt.”
“It also enjoys a privileged geographic position at the crossroads of Europe, the Middle East, and Central Asia, which means that many major players have a stake in ensuring its stability….Among the regional powers, Russia is sometimes mentioned as a potential savior for Turkey. There is no doubt that Russian President Vladimir Putin would love to use Turkey’s crisis to pull it even further away from its NATO allies. But Erdoğan and his advisers would be deeply mistaken to think that Russia can fill Turkey’s financial void. A Kremlin intervention would do little for Turkey, and would likely exacerbate Russia’s own financial and economic challenges.”
“As for China, though it will not want to waste the opportunity to increase its influence vis-à-vis Turkey, it is not the country’s style to step into such a volatile situation, much less assume responsibility for solving the problem. The more likely outcome – as we are seeing in Greece – is that China will unleash its companies to pursue investment opportunities after the dust settles.”
“That means that Turkey’s economic salvation lies with its conventional Western allies: the US and the EU (particularly France and Germany). On August 13, a White House spokesperson confirmed that the Trump administration is watching the financial-market response to Turkey’s crisis “very closely.” The last thing that Trump wants is a crumbling world economy and a massive dollar rally, which could derail his domestic economic ambitions. So a classic Trump “trade” is probably there for Erdoğan, if he is willing to come to the negotiating table. Likewise, some of Europe’s biggest and most fragile banks have significant exposure to Turkey. Combine that with the ongoing political crisis over migration, and you have a recipe for deeper destabilization within the EU. I, for one, cannot imagine that European leaders will sit by and do nothing while Turkey implodes on their border.”
