Srikandiגבורה-Keruntuhan sistem kewangan menanti DUNIA pada masa yang terdekat, kata pakar kewangan James Rickards. Rusia dan keinginan China untuk menghilangkan dolar Amerika Syarikat status mata wang rizab global adalah merupakan tanda awal krisis "semakin tidak dapat dielakkan".
"China mempunyai 3 trilion dolar, tetapi mereka membeli emas secepat mungkin. China bimbang bahawa Amerika Syarikat akan menurunkan nilai dolar melalui inflasi supaya mereka mahu mempunyai lindung nilai jika dolar turun, jadi emas akan naik," Rickards memberitahu RT.
Sebagai salah satu peristiwa penting bagi menyokong ramalan beliau, Rickards mata kepada kata-kata yang diucapkan oleh Presiden Russia Vladimir Putin pada Forum Eko-nomi Antarabangsa ke-18 di St Petersburg yang berlaku awal bulan ini.
"Putin berkata beliau membayangkan satu zon ekonomi Serani yang melibatkan Eropah Timur, Asia Tengah, dan Rusia. ‘Ruble’ Rusia adalah tempat berhampiran bersedia menjadi mata wang rizab global, tetapi ia boleh menjadi mata wang rizab serantau," katanya, seperti yang dipetik oleh ETF Daily News.
Rickards 'buku mengenai kematian dolar dikeluarkan pada bulan April di bawah nama agak dahsyat - 'Death Of Money'. Walau bagaimanapun, penulis adalah terkejut bahawa peristiwa-peristiwa yang berlaku lebih cepat daripada beliau meramalkan .
"Jika apa-apa, tempo peristiwa adalah lebih cepat daripada yang dijangkakan. Oleh itu, beberapa hasil bencana boleh datang lebih awal daripada yang saya tulis tentangnya."
Rabu lepas, China dan Rusia menandatangani US $ 400 bilion perjanjian gas bersejarah yang menyediakan ekonomi yang paling pesat berkembang dengan gas semula jadi ia perlu seiring untuk 30 tahun akan datang. Pakar mengatakan ini boleh menjadi pemang-kin yang dethrones dolar Amerika Syarikat sebagai mata wang rizab DUNIA.
Pengarang laris menulis bahawa "pasaknya bagai pada roda" keruntuhan adalah kegaga-lan menghampiri dolar kerana ia adalah pada asas sistem.
Negara-negara yang kuat seperti Rusia, China, Iran, India dan tidak bergantung kepada Amerika Syarikat pada keselamatan negara mereka dan akan mendapat manfaat dari-pada ekonomi Amerika Syarikat menjadi lebih lemah, dengan itu berhasrat untuk mem-bebaskan diri daripada standard dolar.
Beliau menghuraikan bahawa keruntuhan dual "kelihatan semakin tidak dapat dielakkan."
"Kesilapan telah pun dibuat. Ketidakstabilan ini sudah ada dalam sistem. Kami hanya menunggu yang pemangkin yang saya panggil salji yang bermula runtuhan itu, "katanya, seperti yang dipetik oleh ETF.
Terdapat 3 faktor besar antarabangsa yang mendesak dolar sekarang - Russia, China, dan Arab Saudi.
"Sejak tahun 1970-an, Arab Saudi [telah] peneraju dalam apa yang dipanggil petrodollar itu. Ia pada dasarnya bermakna bahawa Arab Saudi, melanjutkan, OPEC, harga minyak dalam dolar, jadi pasaran DUNIA adalah dalam dolar.
"Rusia adalah pengeksport sumber alam yang terbesar; harga eksport mereka dalam dolar juga. Tetapi Rusia kini terlibat dalam perang kewangan dengan Amerika Syarikat di sekitar isu-isu di Crimea dan Ukraine."
Ancaman kepada dolar adalah "sentiasa ada," pengarang menyatakan di dalam bukunya. Satu-satunya cara Amerika Syarikat tidak boleh membayar hutang $17 trillion adalah dengan inflasi, yang akan memacu negara lain yang jauh dari dolar manakala pengum-pulan emas dengan Rusia dan China presages peralihan kepada aset rizab baru.
“Masa depan kita akan mempunyai krisis kecairan di DUNIA ia akan menjadi lebih besar daripada keupayaan bank pusat untuk menanganinya. IMF pada dasarnya akan mem-punyai untuk menyelamatkan DUNIA dengan mencetak hak pengeluaran khas (aset rizab antarabangsa yang dikeluarkan oleh IMF pada tahun 1969 untuk menambah rizab rasmi negara-negara anggotanya)”.
Pada masa itu, anda akan melihat SDR muncul sebagai mata wang DUNIA Global yang baru, " Rickards memberitahu RT.
'Death of money': Author Rickards predicts collapse of global monetary system . . .
The collapse of the monetary system awaits the world in the near future, says financial expert James Rickards. Russia and China's desire to rid the US dollar of its global reserve currency status is an early sign of the “increasingly inevitable” crisis.
“China has three trillion dollars, but they are buying gold as fast as they can. China worries that the US is going to devalue the dollar through inflation so they want to have a hedge if the dollar goes down, so the gold will go up,” Rickards told RT.
As one of the key events in support of his forecast, Rickards points to the words uttered by Russian President Vladimir Putin at the 18th International Economic Forum in St. Petersburg that took place earlier this month.
“Putin said he envisions a Eurasian economic zone involving Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and Russia. The Russian ruble is nowhere near ready to be a global reserve currency, but it could be a regional reserve currency,” he said, as quoted by ETF Daily News.
Rickards’ book about the demise of the dollar was released in April under quite an apocalyptic name – 'The Death of Money.' However, the author is surprised that the events are unfolding much faster than he predicted.
“If anything, the tempo of events is faster than expected. Therefore, some of these catastrophic outcomes may come sooner than I wrote about.”
Last Wednesday, China and Russia signed a historic US$400 billion gas deal which will provide the world's fastest growing economy with the natural gas it needs to keep pace for the next 30 years. Experts say this could be the catalyst that dethrones the greenback as the world's reserve currency.
The best-selling author writes that the “linchpin” of the collapse is the approaching failure of the dollar since it is at the foundation of the system. Powerful countries such as Russia, China, Iran, and India do not rely on the US in their national security and would benefit from the US economy being weaker, thus desiring to break free from the dollar standard.
He elaborates that the dual collapse “looks increasingly inevitable.”
“The mistakes have already been made. The instability is already in the system. We’re just waiting for that catalyst that I call the snowflake that starts the avalanche,” he said, as quoted by ETF.
There are three big international factors that are pressuring the dollar right now – Russia, China, and Saudi Arabia.
“Since the 1970s, Saudi Arabia [has been] the leader in what’s called the petrodollar. It basically means that Saudi Arabia and, by extension, OPEC, price oil in dollars, so the world market is in dollars.
“Russia is a major natural resource exporter; they price their exports in dollars as well. But Russia now is engaged in a financial war with the US around the issues in Crimea and Ukraine.”
The threats to the dollar are “ubiquitous,” the author states in his book. The only way the US can pay off its $17 trillion debt is with inflation, which would drive other countries away from the dollar while the accumulation of gold by Russia and China presages the shift to a new reserve asset.
“The next time we will have a liquidity crisis in the world it’s going to be bigger than the ability of central banks to deal with it. The IMF will basically have to bail out the world by printing the SDRs (an international reserve asset created by the IMF in 1969 to supplement its member countries' official reserves). By that time, you will see the SDR emerge as the new global world currency,” Rickards told RT.
