UN wants new global currency to replace dollar
Telegraph.co.uk via Drudge ^ | Sept. 7, 2009 | By Edmund Conway, Economics Editor

In a radical report, the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) has said the system of currencies and capital rules which binds the world economy is not working properly, and was largely responsible for the financial and economic crises.

"Replacing the dollar with an artificial currency would solve some of the problems related to the potential of countries running large deficits and would help stability," said Detlef Kotte, one of the report's authors. "But you will also need a system of managed exchange rates. Countries should keep real exchange rates [adjusted for inflation] stable. Central banks would have to intervene and if not they would have to be told to do so by a multilateral institution such as the International Monetary Fund."

The proposals, included in UNCTAD's annual Trade and Development Report , amount to the most radical suggestions for redesigning the global monetary system.

Although many economists have pointed out that the economic crisis owed more to the malfunctioning of the post-Bretton Woods system, until now no major institution, including the G20 , has come up with an alternative.

“Lately all those “wacky, nut job conspiracy theories” of old seem to be coming true!
Damn...they were right after all.
Nuts, indeed.”

Indeed. It’s been about 8 months since anyone accused someone of wearing the ‘tin foil’ hat.


Has it really been that long?

I’d guess that if someone hasn’t called

me

that, then they haven’t called anyone that hereon.

LOL.

Thx.

Alert: China to Issue Renminbi Bonds Internationally
It’s only a first step but, this is big. A new player has entered the ring to compete against the dollar and Treasury securities.

China’s finance ministry said China will issue Rmb6bn ($879m) of bonds in Hong Kong on September 28, in a move to “improve the international status” of the currency and to help mainland companies raise funds in the offshore bond market, according to FT.

since Bam has the dollar on a downward spiral where it’s value will soon approximate that of a Grape Nehi bottle cap, who can really blame them?
