IMF Reports the Ukraine Crisis Will ‘Fundamentally Alter’ Global Economic Trade, Finance and Political Order

When they say the quiet part out loud, pay attention.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is a global financial mechanism located in Washington DC. According to the U.S. Treasury Department, “The IMF is an organization of 189 member countries that works to foster global monetary cooperation, secure financial stability, facilitate international trade, promote high employment and sustainable economic growth.” Put in succinct terms, the IMF is the control mechanism for western government.

 

When the IMF starts saying the Ukraine conflict is likely to trigger a new world order of global economic and financial systems, we should pay attention, because behind those statements is a reality that no one has mentioned yet.

 

Think of it this way… If Russia was to just simply withdraw from Ukraine, do you think the western financial sanctions and multinational corporations would just reverse themselves? Of course not. What was never mentioned in the sanction package, pushed by NATO and western alliances, was the no retreat Rubicon they created. Removing Russia from the SWIFT financial exchange was/is irreversible; so too are the global banking sanctions triggered by political will.

 

What does that mean? It means from these moments forward something else, some other form of financial transaction processes, is going to be needed for Russia and their allies to engage in commerce, banking and economic activity together. Russia, China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, India, Brazil and other nations are now in a position of being forced to create another mechanism for trade and commerce.

 

The petro-dollar may factually be dropped as a part of this. The issue is not ‘if’ it will happen, the issues are how and when they will happen. Vladimir Putin was pushed into this position by the western financial response, and don’t think for a moment that China and Russia are unhappy about it.

 

As noted in USA Money: In the longer term, [the IMF said]:

 

…”the war may fundamentally alter the global economic and geopolitical order should energy trade shift, supply chains reconfigure, payment networks fragment, and countries rethink reserve currency holdings.” (LINK)

This is not a ‘losing scenario’ for Vladimir Putin. Independent payment networks, out of the influence or reach of the U.S. government, are something Putin would openly embrace. Indeed, the creation of that new financial system for transactions was the primary intent of the BRICS economic alliance.

Pay very close attention to anyone who would say “Putin has already lost”, or any iteration therein. Putin and Chairman Xi will embrace this new global financial system of independent mechanisms based on value that is separate from the U.S. dollar.

 

Regardless of the outcome in Ukraine, this situation within the international financial world is not a loss for Putin. Additionally, and not coincidentally, this new financial world order is also embraced by the domestic ideologues inside the United States who have long felt that our geopolitical power was grossly inflated by the economic value of our currency in the world of trade and finance.

 

Not only does President Putin and Chairman Xi welcome this new order, no one is smiling bigger than former President Obama and his ‘fundamental change’ crew. THIS is the change they were hoping for.

 

A weakened dollar means the wealth behind the valuation is removed from unilateral U.S. benefit, and wealth spreads around the globe into the trade and payment networks that are based on non-dollar transactions. All the players who look at the U.S.A as an arrogant and entitled economic system will equally embrace a new financial system.

 

Klaus Schwab and the WEF/Davos crowd will look happily at a western financial system valued on the currency of a collaboration of nations similar in value to how the Euro was established. The central bankers in the EU, the IMF, the World Bank, and the WTO will all work on this new fragmented financial system; perhaps the underlying currency will even be digital which aligns with the need for a digital identity.

 

This is a direct outcome of the DC system, NATO, western government and the multinational corporations all aligning to take advantage of the crisis that Ukraine presents. The new financial mechanisms will likely line up with the Build Back Better program of clean energy and carbon trading. All of the systems merge together into one unified western valued global financial system.

 

It’s stunning how no one in Washington DC is seemingly against this outcome. It’s almost as if they realize, in the biggest of big pictures, the scale of the U.S. debt and deficit is so large that a massive reset is needed. [Insert Captain Obvious Here]

 

Regardless of the Ukraine outcome, Putin, Xi, Obama and Klaus Schwab have already won. The only real losers are American citizens, many of whom were duped into putting Ukraine flags in their social media avatars without thinking about the longer term consequences.

 

I am of the mind right now to go up to people who are so entrenched in their support for the Ukraine narrative and ask them to remember this exact moment of their advocacy. Please remember this exact moment, because when the inevitable consequences surface – I demand some reference point so you will feel the scale of your participation in your own demise. Something like that.

 

It might be rather snarky, but I would like something similar to that ‘wait, what’ moment when they hear the sound of the latch click on cattle car with them in it, and then think… Oh, shit, what have I done?

 

It’s too late knucklehead, now that we’re on the ride, we ain’t getting out until the ride’s over. Enjoy reading this morning’s article about your hero Zelenskyy living the high life in the Mediterranean somewhere, while knocking back beers with a crew of Russian billionaires.

Russia's War in Ukraine May 'Fundamentally Alter' Global Economic, Political Order - IMF

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Russia's invasion of Ukraine will affect the entire global economy by slowing growth and jacking up inflation, and could fundamentally reshape the global economic order in the longer term, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said on Tuesday.

 

Beyond the human suffering and historic refugee flows, the war is boosting prices for food and energy, fuelling inflation and eroding the value of incomes, while disrupting trade, supply chains and remittances in countries neighbouring Ukraine, the IMF said in a post on its website.

 

It is also eroding business confidence and triggering uncertainty among investors that will depress asset prices, tighten financial conditions and could trigger capital outflows from emerging markets, it said.

 

"The conflict is a major blow to the global economy that will hurt growth and raise prices," the IMF said.

 

IMF officials has already said they expect to lower the Fund's previous forecast for 4.4% global economic growth in 2022. In Tuesday's post, they suggested their regional growth forecasts would also be likely be revised downward.

 

The IMF is due to release updated forecasts on April 19.

 

Countries with direct trade, tourism, and financial exposures would feel mounting pressure, the IMF said, citing a greater risk of unrest in some regions, from Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America to the Caucasus and Central Asia.

 

At the same time, food insecurity was likely to further increase in parts of Africa and the Middle East, where countries like Egypt import 80% of their wheat from Russia and Ukraine.

 

In the longer term, it said, "the war may fundamentally alter the global economic and geopolitical order should energy trade shift, supply chains reconfigure, payment networks fragment, and countries rethink reserve currency holdings."

 

The IMF predicted deep recessions in Ukraine and Russia, and said Europe could see disruptions in natural gas imports and wider supply-chain disruptions. Eastern Europe, which has absorbed most of the 3 million people who have fled Ukraine, would see higher financing costs as a result.

 

The IMF said countries in the Caucasus and Central Asia with close trade and payment system links to Russia would be more affected by its recession and sanctions imposed since the invasion of Ukraine, curbing trade, remittances, investment and tourism. Moscow calls its actions in Ukraine a "special operation".

 

In the Middle East and Africa, worsening external financing conditions may spur capital outflows and add to growth headwinds for countries with elevated debt levels and large financing needs, the IMF said.

 

Higher energy and food prices, reduced tourism and problems accessing international capital markets would threaten countries in sub-Saharan Africa, which imports around 85% of its wheat supplies, with a third coming from Russia or Ukraine.

 

Food and energy prices are the main channel for spillovers in the Western Hemisphere, with high commodity prices likely to significantly quicken already high inflation rates in Latin America, the Caribbean and the United States.

 

In Asia, the biggest impact will be felt among oil importers of ASEAN economies, India, and frontier economies including some Pacific Islands, while new fuel subsidies could ease the impacts in Japan and Korea, the IMF said.
