The blogmaster is unsure how many Barbadians are going about business today blissfully unaware of the meltdown in global financial markets. Central banks around the world are reluctant to be aggressive with tightening monetary policy for fear it will trigger another financial crisis. The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine will continue to spike inflation given disruption to global supply in a ‘post Covid 19’ period.
For Small Developing States (SIDs) there is no quick fix to the hardships that will have to be endured for an indeterminable period. The Barbados dollar is pegged to the USD and combined with being a net importer with key components being food and oil, as the local parlance goes – we in ducks guts.
This is no time to play politics.

KEY POINTS
- Global stock markets are falling sharply after May’s U.S. inflation print reignited fears that central banks will be forced into aggressive monetary policy tightening.
- The U.S. 2-year Treasury rate hit its highest level since 2007 on Monday morning and edged closer to an inversion with the benchmark 10-year rate – seen by many as a sign of an impending recession.
- “While [the Fed] can’t sit there and say their job is to end job creation for the moment, that is basically what they need to do if they are going to get inflation back under control now,” TD Securities’ Richard Kelly said.

It always leaves me wondering how come when the markets are booming and billionaires are daily being created by the hundreds, the average Joe just reads about all the wealth that’s being created on paper, and yet when the markets tumble, the average Joe’s a*s is grass. Yup, there are people out there who sit behind a keyboard, manipulate a few keys and presto, instant millionaires having never lifter a finger or created anything of value to mankind.
Average Joe takes a bus, goes to the Garrison and wins a million bucks – he’s a no-good gambler. Put on a suit, drive to the office in a Lamborghini, bet on some stock rises and presto, he’s an investment banker.

You never cease to amaze. Would you prefer the people with fiat currencies to steal the resources of those which have, as is the history. Imperialism.
Or in the case of Barbados and the Caribbean, we’ve been arguing for a lifetime that our ancestral home should be Afrika and we should have long been deeply linked, long ago.
But regardless, it’s right to remove this sin from society. It only creates unrepeatable debt.
@Pacha
No need to repeat the unanswered question. Carry on.

What you talking bout.
Countries with high pollution rates are buying carbon credits from countries like Batbados. The reverse of this.
How hard is that.
@Pacha
You were asked a simple question- how can Barbados or countries with high debt profiles displace its fiat currency with a commodity based setup.
David
These matter are dynamic. Meaning more than one thing has to be at the same time.
Estimation that the elevation of the asset based money will occur with the rise of the Eurasion bloc Barbados will have a Jubillee. No more debt. One problem solved.
Secondly, Barbsdos can handle this as previously described. Acquiring assets like carbon credits are. Or real assets from countries having them like a corporation would. This ight even spur industrisl development offshore.
Thirdly, receipts from services will have an asset value as well in the basket.
@Pacha
What then must be the short to midterm strategy for SIDs given the unfolding?

@David
Analyst now predit that the yeild on US 10 year treasuries will hit 5% before the end of summer at this rate. Given that, I now predict that Barbados will almost certainly seek another IMF deal. If US debt is trading at 5%, the market will ask Barbados to pay more that 7% for any new debt. In this environment it might make sense to seek a new stand bu arrangement with the Fund that would allow you to unlock Financing from development banks at less than 2.5% interest when you need it. This arrangement would be a little different in nature to the current EFF but the priciples are smilar.
@wargeneral
As you know IMF assistance is to provide a blanket primarily to protect foreign reserves. You would have noted a local news report last week that the payment for oil imports has increased astronomically year over year for the same period. At current rate the foreign currency reserve we boast about will be exhausted if we consume at current rate.

It’s alive and it’s hungry as fuck
Better hide all the snacks and the dough
It is out of my control, you are shit out of luck

We got beat that weak shit you got (true god)
Blew up the spot with that new bop
Crew drops, do up ya squad without nuance
I don’t wanna sound unkind but the
Sounds I make are the sounds of the hounds
That are howlin – Under your bed I’m here growling
Same time under the blanket you’re cowering

Cowering like cowards cowering on

Acting brave and courageous
Ain’t advantageous for health and safety
So when we say run the jewels
Just run’ em baby, please don’t delay me
And that goes for a guy or lady
The fam god damn we fuckin crazy
I’ll pull this pistol
Put it on your poodle or your fuckin baby
She clutched the pearls, said “What in the world!”
And “I won’t give up shit!”
I put the pistol on that poodle
And I shot that bitch

Full of rage, it seems I can’t behave
You could try till you die, oh well

In a land full of lambs I am

David,
Unlike some, Donna does not pretend to have a firm grip on complex financial systems. I watch and listen but if there is going to be an upending of this system, I am all for it, whatever the initial or short-term cost to me. I remain unconvinced that it will happen in my lifetime but I hope that it will.
It is obvious that this “fiat” system is a fake one, unhinged to actual resources. How is it that Africa is the most resourced continent and its people are the poorest? These tiefing white bitches need to be stopped. And all tiefing bitches of other hues.
Those who, as you say, are blithely unaware are the ones who probably have little to lose anyway. For them, every day is a struggle for the basics of survival.
@Donna
Fair enough, you should note however the avarice and the agenda of the 1% will not be going anywhere soon. If at all.
This gem from yesterday. WRT sanctions, the U.S saying do as I say not as I do.
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-06-13/us-quietly-urges-russia-fertilizer-deals-to-unlock-grain-trade
@wargeneral
What many do not realise is that G7 has imposed sanctions at sector and individual level, not country. It is the hypocrisy of the world we live in.
David,
That has been my point for ages. The avarice and agenda of the 1% ain’t going nowhere. Neither is the mindset of those average people who have been brainwashed into their way of defining success.
This DISEASE infects most of the world’s people. They aspire to nothing greater than to be among the world’s 1%!
This is why I do not believe the solution is as simple as a change in financial systems.
Most human beings are still to effed up!
@Donna
Mindsets can be encouraged to shift/change with a concerted effort by sector players, the problem however is that key sector players are vested in the establishment read maintaining the status quo.
Oh dear what panic can cause. Let’s look at the facts here for little Bim. First let’s list the factors against us.
A. High Inflation
B. High fuel prices
C. Falling stock markets globally
E. Weak dollar
F. Falling personal liquidity.
Them basically is the key factors that will affect our tourism and our cost of living. Our visitors come from the countries facing A-F listed above. Let us not believe therefore that our tourism industry will not be affected. After all higher airfares coupled to less liquidity due to inflation does not exactly make one want to take what’s left and get on a plane to one of the most expensive destinations out there.
So next what A-F mean for Bajans here? Well higher food prices for sure followed by increased interest rates will come our way. No doubt Tourism receipts will be affected as well. With sterling where it is travel out of the UK which is our major market, will also prove expensive. So yes these factors we know and must brace for.
As for whether the dow crashes or not let’s leave that to the sooth sayers and instead focus on where we are and what we can do. Simply put consuming only what we need and not want is a start. Protect our reserves even though most are borrowed and understand we will have to deal with this for the balance of 2022 at least. If the markets do collapse as happened in 2008, we all know what that meant for us. But cross that bridge when it happens, however deal with what we can do today. Wunna stop buying all the crap you see. You don’t need no 70 inch TV when the one wunna got showing perfect! The Toyota more reliable than any Range Rover or Jaguar so left out impressing the neighbour’s and drive a blasted Toyota or Hyundai. Wunna ever realise that the real money people don’t get caught up in all that crap?
If however the market does crash, the value of the lost will be way greater than in 2008 for sure and as a result the removal of the amount of money from the system in 2022 will make what was lost in 2008 look like lunch money.
“Watch as David and his people try to steal it”
let’s see how that plays out….lots of black people, not Afrikans, are of that mindset, sit their backsides in the west as Slaves and see who could tief from Afrika and give them the crumbs…..which is their inheritance…useless breathers…

David,
It only just occurred to me that I could never, no matter how hard I tried, understand this fiat currency system BECAUSE IT MADE NO SENSE WHATSOEVER!
How silly of me not to have figured that out before! Why should it make sense, considering who created it and for what reasons?
@Donna
A FIAT currency was/is needed to fund the unbridled conspicuous consumption habits of our global inhabitants intoxicated by it. The gold standard was abandoned and now there is talk about commodity/asset based system. With limited resources and inequity of distribution the blogmaster in not enthusiastic we will see FIAT replaced in our lifetime. Unless there is some cataclysmic event that triggers a tipping point.

John A,
I figured that Bitcoin thing out all by myself. Its logic eluded me.
But I cottoned on to that because it was new. The fiat currency is status quo and so I assumed the fault was mine.
I shall seek out the article.
It’s a good read. Written in typical Buffet style where he asks ” on what is this invisible currencies value based?”
The crash or correction will come as they do every so.many years. The magnitude of it only time can tell. Like the coming one the world will recover and life will go on.
Donna it was a CNBC article in early 2022 based on his comments at a Berkshire meeting where he said he would not pay $25 for all the bitcoin in circulation. Lol
” on what is this invisible currencies value based?”
The real value proposition of crypto, more particularly the block chain is the ability to track and record every single transaction in real time. When central banks begin to adopt digital currencies- and they all will, then the real “fun” will start.
There will be no need for multiple currencies so one global unit of exchange will do.
Governments (or the new global government) will have the ability to determine who has “money”, where it can be spent and how much. All with press of a button.
Expect to see increasing talk of CBDCs as the world fragments amidst loss of US hegemony before final consolidation in a new global government.
Thesis. Antithesis. Synthesis.

@ Pachamama at 12 :16 PM

Pacha…based on something you posted yesterday…
“Boso menɔa tã me o.”The whale does not live in a pond.”-Ewe proverb
Explanation: Do not diminish yourself for others. Keep company with those equal to your character and capacity.”
a hell of a conference. multilingualism was a plus…
“However, do you have any idea how much energy these thing use.”
@ Pacha
In fact I do. Bitcoin mining alone uses as much electricity annually as the entire country Sweden.
The high energy requirement is basically down to computational cost, involved in solving the math problems required to maintain the integrity of the Blockchain. So basically if the mathematics can be simplified in some way then the computational burden will be reduced resulting in less energy consumption. There are already people working on these things. Only a matter of time.
But apart from bitcoin there are other protocols that use much less energy. There is no reason why bitcoin has to remain the standard. The Ethereum chain uses much energy. So if there were a mass exodus today from Bitcoin to the Ethereum network that would address a lot of the energy concerns.
Oh and @ Pacha
Do not confuse cryptocurrency with the Blockchain. Crypto currency is but one application of the use of a digital leger. There are many other interesting use cases that we are already in use in the works.
Dullard
How much of your monies have you “invested” into Bitcoin and other crypto-currencies. Talk is cheap.

The bloc’s drug regulator was in talks with Danish firm Bavarian Nordic over its Imvanex smallpox shot – known as Jynneos in the US, where it has already been approved to combat monkeypox.
There have been over 900 confirmed cases in the EU so far, while Germany and Spain have already ordered their own batches of vaccines.

I bought cardboard when it was 14¢ a ton and it is now worth 16¢
I bought 3 tons of it.. so you can work out how much it is worth now
I got a special deal where I can keep it all at home”
Not bad.
“I know that we have a number of issuesJapan was supposed to each our lunch but suffered from indigestion. You are soon going to see ‘others’ vomiting.”
that’s the thing, they always manage to bounce back…lol..that’s why i refuse to take sides, because the pendulum can swing any where at any time..
Theo…these days i got so much going on, i can’t even enjoy the power plays….
they got this power struggle between Taiwan and China…that one is exhausting just thinking about it…waiting to see if they are only grandstanding…..lots of distractions, but some of us know to stay focused on what we are doing…
I live in Barbados.
Sup with all the beggars at the kfc/ chefette drive thrus and gas stations/ supermarket parking lots?
Sympathise with these folks but maybe they need to target the pedigreed austerity challenged big-ups & leave us struggling normal people alone.
The Yuan upgraded in the UN holdings or pecial drawing rights system.
The Russian Rouble the best currency of the year.

Stale news?
May 14, 2022
The updated basket implies slightly higher weights for the U.S. dollar and the Chinese renminbi and, accordingly, somewhat lower weights for the British pound, the euro, and the Japanese yen.
The updated basket weights will come into effect on August 1, 2022.
The Rouble is the best performing currency, albeit back to 2018 levels. And the Yuan isn’t far behind.
May they both experience continued increases.
@NO
Bloomberg agrees with you.

State News?
The SDR system is nun by the UN, no?
Moreover,, don’t these rebalancings correspond with the broad trends?
We will see how the market reacts to increase in rates by central banks. So far on market openings crypto is continuing to misbehave.
David
What are u ou talking about.
The presumption that central banks are some independent self directed entities unaffested by politics and the domination of the US dollar and dictation from the Treasury Department in Washington is well established economic belief system for which Bloomberg is the arch angel.
No wonder all of them will get it wrong at the same time. Is thinking an occupation out of vogue?
@Pacha
What is the rival governance or oversight system? Asking for a few friends.
David
The new world order is trying to find that. But to continue talking these junk economics as if scientifically based is no different than religious belief systems.
Bloomberg shiiiite. How many times have they been wrong?
@Pacha
Will ignore the establishment narratives.

When will you misguided sheep learn the names of Richard Wolfe or Michael Hudson and many more interrogating this unreality with enormous success.

That is NOT our view. Instead we should see, interrogate, ALL the narratives to be as so determinative like you are want to be.
@Pacha
Isn’t this what the blog is about narratives and counter narratives contending?
@Pacha
What happens when one of the main oil refineries breaks down because as you know they have been operating full capacity to respond to the Russia Ukraine conflict?
David
The master of obfuscations! Surely, even you can’t seriously consider that all the narratives could have been exhibited here. In any case, no set of alternatives narratives will ever permeate the wall of ignorance which remains your preferred economic belief system.
@Pacha
If you say so. What prevents you or any other from sharing and countering as you do? Share your views freely as you are permitted because singing in the pickanoise gang does not show your best side.
David
More of the same. A continuation of the recent spite in inflation and its concomitants.
@Pacha
Interesting times. No ready solutions in the short term for sure. The construct of globalization that contrived to weave economies and markets is biting in the rear big time.
David
Not able with that weight of constantly dragging the unread. People who generally assume that the world within their minds is the solitary reality. Can barely manage at this level. No thanks!
Pacha…the CENTER COULD NOT HOLD….and fell out….
you warned them, so did many others….now the big question is, since the people CANNOT RELY or depend on government….exactly what will their next steps be….they must know they have to make an INFORMED decision and what to do going forward and this corrupt dangerous system is not it, that will ALWAYS BE STEPPING BACKWARD… once they remain in it…
now that the BOTTOM HAS FALLEN OUT..
From what am seeing on other forums….people are actively GOING AFTER THEM…it’s that time…
this cannot continue….with their brazen little minorities coming out like if this is the 1930s and they are updating us on how SUCCESSFUL THEY ARE AS PARASITES IN BLACK LIVES……….well IT’S OVER…so get ya frowzy tiefing asses back inside where ya belong…..
they do not know JUST HOW OVER ALL OF THIS IS…..but wait, you will see..
And it came to past.
