Russian Economy General News: #2

I agree with you werewolf, CB needs to be federalized. I never understood why a countries CB, which controls the currency of the nation, and interest rates, is allowed to be private? Also, they own the largest forex bank of Russia, Sberbank. (Well, over 50% of it).

Hooefully, they find discrepencies that will force them to intervene. Or, make CB a pointless organization by creating another entity to smother out CB. Recognize the currency of another CB.

That was made under Jelzin the Drunk because his western "Partners" told him so. Almost every single country on earth is bound by Bretton woods because US has installed so many puppets even in Russia during Jelzin ERA, where CIA where going in and out in the Kreml and have even had access to KGB headquarters. I remeber in a documentary don't know exactly if it was about tanks or helicopters but there was a mention that the KGB general resigned because Jelzin administration has ordered him to let CIA agents into the KGB, he first dismissed it and asked what bad joke this is and than he was threatened to let them in or he would find someone who would, so he resigned from his position.

During the Middle Ages Europe had no standing armies but instead relied on private feudal levies. During the Renessainse mercenary armies were more popular than at any point before or after.


And the world still worked.

That smells more like an attempt of giving US russian gold if they are seriously trying to use Gold for ruble.

I hope not only heads will roll but also some tanks right into the CB and show them who is the man in the house.

This insanity has to stop and no more soft talk or bail outs, just jailing for traitor and enemy of the state, federalizing of the CB and rewriting constitution and the article that says the CB is private and is not obligated to serve RF.

That is what I was thinking. Trying to give Russian gold away. Good thing is, Russia is filled with gold and I think there are still plenty of untapped mines. I think CB should not be in charge of gold reserves. Actually, CB should not be in charge of anything other than making sure banks are somewhat in line. The rest should be based on market itself and the banks/government (Government should have gold reserve, and each bank should have their own, which I think they already do).

But the investigation will go underway. Hopefully this is the pretext of dealing with CB.

When oil inevitably goes up again to 100 $/barrel pretty soon (IMO Q2 2015) then inflation and interest rates will be high and Russian economy will start to rally. If there was a real attack to the Ruble then MICEX would had been in trouble. You don't know too much about economy, do you guys? Volatility is great and everything is fine, average Joe will suck for the time being but hey this are suckers anyway!

Russian central bank should have stayed cool and actually lowered interest rates so rubble would be in more demand ,especially sinse western credit option is drying up...
The biggest challenge is on the unconventional oil producers here ,shale & tar sands , we will see Q4 financial results in 2 months, and i prognose it will go red.
Its highly doubtfull todays Saudi Arabia can increase its production and keep it going ,like it did in the 80s...
so today, the game is different.
