Poetin, IMF bespreek Griekse krisis

Die Russiese President, Vladimir Poetin het die Internasionale Monetêre Fonds se bestuurshoof, Christine Lagarde genader om die Griekse referendum te bespreek.

Hulle probeer ‘n werklike oplossing kry vir die land se skuldkrisis.

Lagarde het gesê dat verskeie lande in Latyns-Amerika en Afrika haar vir haar ongenaakbare houding teenoor die Griekse krisis blameer.

Met die huidige bankstelsel se probleme, het die tyd aangebreek om nuwe finansiële instellings wêreldwyd te ontwikkel, het president Zuma intussen aan die Russiese nuusdiens RT gesê.

BRICS en sy nuwe ontwikkelingsbank is een van die alternatiewe, het hy gesê.

Zuma het bygevoeg dat sulke instellings aan lande wat betrokke is, meer insae in die besluitnemingsproses behoort te gee en dat Westerse lande te veel inmeng.

‘n Woordvoerder vir die Kremlin, Dmitry Peskov sê samesprekings sal voortgaan en die belange van alle partye rakende die Griekse probleem sal in ag geneem word.

Hy het bygevoeg dat die gesprek tussen Putin en Lagarde nie verband gehou het met enige moontlik hulp van Rusland aan Griekeland nie.

Lagarde het vroeër in ‘n verklaring gesê die IMF is gereed om Griekeland te help indien die land daarom vra.

Die omstrede vorige minister van Finansies, Yanis Varoufakis het Maandag bedank.

Lagarde het in ‘n verklaring gesê die organisasie is gereed om Griekeland te help indien die land daarom vra.

Intussen is Griekeland se hoofonderhandelaar met die internasionale krediteure, Euclid Tsakalotos, as nuwe minister van Finansies ingehuldig.

Die 55-jarige Tsakalotos wat in Londen skoolgegaan en gestudeer het, het na sy inhuldiging gesê hy is angstig oor die taak wat hom opgelê is.

Hy was tot onlangs ‘n professor by die Universiteit van Ekonomie in Athene.

    There are huge financial risks to Russia from chaos in the Eurozone, and the longer the crisis drags out the more likely there could be economic fallout for Russia.

        Griekse kos werk so: Hulle gooi alles in ‘n emmer. Wat uitklim eet hulle en wat nie uitklim nie maak hulle van wyn. Geen wonder hulle gooi hul borde stukkend nie.

      Benewens sand en son nie veel nie. Ek dink hulle is dalk strategies gelee vir watter rede ookal. Hou vir Putin dop. Dis ‘n alombekende feit dat die VSA hulle militere bassise in Europa uitbrei asook hule voorrade te verhoog in die gebied. Ek dink Putin gaan finansiele hulp aanbied op voorwaarde dat hy ‘n Vlootbasis daar bou.

        …en die Grieke die IMF teen Putin afspeel en omgekeerd. Benoude katte maak benoude spronge en byt alles wat in hulle pad is.

        Zuma, met … het die tyd aangebreek om nuwe finansiële instellings wêreldwyd te ontwikkel …. beter sy jack roer want ons is nie alte vêr van aansoekdoening vir IMF-hulp nie.

      So ‘n stukkie uit Wikipedia oor Griekeland:

      Greece is a developed country with high standards of living[citation needed] and high Human Development Index.[108][109] Its economy mainly comprises the service sector (85.0%) and industry (12.0%), while agriculture makes up 3.0% of the national economic output.[110]Important Greek industries include tourism (with 14.9 million[111] international tourists in 2009, it is ranked as the 7th most visited country in the European Union[111] and 16th in the world[111] by the United Nations World Tourism Organization) and merchant shipping (at 16.2%[112] of the world’s total capacity, the Greek merchant marine is the largest in the world[112]), while the country is also a considerable agricultural producer (including fisheries) within the union.

      With an economy larger than all the Balkan economies combined, Greece is the largest economy in the Balkans,[113][114][115] and an important regional investor.[113][114] Greece is the number-two foreign investor of capital in Albania, the number-three foreign investor in Bulgaria, at the top-three foreign investors in Romania and Serbia and the most important trading partner and largest foreign investor of the Republic of Macedonia. Greek banks open a new branch somewhere in the Balkans on an almost weekly basis.[116][117][118] The Greek telecommunications company OTE has become a strong investor in Yugoslavia and other Balkan countries.[116]

    Virtually absent from the mainstream media coverage are the IMF’s profit from Greek loans and the dirty role Goldman Sachs played in Greek’s finances.

    The Jubilee Debt Campaign has released figures showing

    “that the IMF has made €2.5 billion of profit out of its loans to Greece since 2010. If Greece does repay the IMF in full, this will rise to €4.3 billion by 2024.” (The IMF Has Made €2.5 Billion Profit Out of Greece Loans, Jubilee Debt Campaign, July 6, 2015)

    As for Goldman Sachs, it

    “allowed Greece to hide the true extent of its debt and […] ended up almost doubling the amount of debt Greece owed under the dubious derivative deals.” (Pam Martens and Russ Martens, Goldman Sachs Doesn’t Have Clean Hands in Greece Crisis, Wall Street on Parade, July 01, 2015)

      Yep Adam, that’s how they operate. In Africa they claim mining concessions as security on their loans. Before long they dictate to the receiver of the loan how to run their country.

      Hier op PRAAG was daar jare terug ‘n baie goeie artikel oor GS en Griekeland.

    Wat Zuma eintlik met Westerse inmenging bedoel is seker dat die IMF een of ander tyd hulle pond vleis eis vir die enorme lenings aan Afrika regerings.
    Putin is besig om sy tentakels stadig maar seker oor Europa te versprei. Ek dink die BBBEE kandidaat in die withuis (is dit nog die plek se naam? Klink polities verkeerd) is besig om saggies winde te laat van benoudheid.

    Kom ons wees maar reguit met mekaar. Die situasie in Griekeland is nie mooi nie. Charles Hugb Smith op Washingtonsblog:
    The hard part is guessing what’s next (na die referendum). It seems one dynamic of “what’s next” is multiple currencies being used in Greece rather than one single currency: many, not one. As the U.K.’s Telegraph reports, companies are issuing private currencies to fill the void.

    Despite assurances, the crisis is likely to escalate fast if there is no resolution early next week. Businesses in Thessaloniki and other parts of the country are already creating parallel private currencies to keep trade alive and alleviate an acute shortage of liquidity. Vasilis Papadopoulos, owner of the Maxi paper mill in Katerini, said the situation was becoming desperate for his industry. “I have enough raw materials to last until July 14. If I don’t get any more pulp, I will have to close the factory. It is a simple as that. I have 183 employees and I will have to start laying them off,” he said.

    His firm has reached an accord with regional supermarkets to accept coupons or private scrip money in lieu of payment as soon as next week. His workers will then be able to use this paper as a parallel currency at the supermarket to buy goods.

    The idea that scrips, IOUs, letters of credit or indeed, notched sticks, can act as perfectly legitimate money is not surprising to anyone who has read David Graber’s marvelous history of credit and money, Debt: The First 5,000 Years or Fernand Braudel’s three-volume history of modern Capitalism

    G’n wonder hul ekonomie is in die toilet nie.

    N.S. Ek dink daai tossels aan die skoene sal darem ‘n man se styl erg krimp wanneer jy tussen die bosse hardloop.
