The Russian central bank, Russia's gold and foreign currency holdings have reached a record high of 643.2 billion US dollars. The regulator said that compared with the previous week, foreign exchange reserves surged by $3.6 billion, and pointed out that the 0.6% increase was due to the positive appreciation of the market. Russia calls on BRICS countries to create a new reserve currency. Why does Zhang Zeming do this?

1, the state creates a new reserve currency.

Anton Anoff, Russian Finance Minister, gave the answer! First of all, Lu Si Anoff said that at present, half of Russia's foreign exchange reserves and gold reserves are frozen by western countries! The Russian Finance Minister said that the West has frozen nearly half of its gold and foreign exchange reserves. All members of the international monetary fund will receive a sum called. Special drawing rights? Reserve assets, which is roughly proportional to the economic scale of a country. Can these assets be converted into what the International Monetary Fund thinks? Free use? Five currencies: USD, EUR, GBP, JPY and RMB from 20 16.

2. Gold assets cannot be frozen.

According to industry sources, one of the reasons why the Russian central bank responded to US sanctions by betting on gold is that gold assets cannot be frozen or blacklisted. ? It seems that Russia's goal is to diversify its investments from American assets. A source of a Russian gold producer said when talking about the central bank's gold position. Earlier, the latest quarterly report released by the Russian central bank showed that from March to June last year, the proportion of US dollars in Russian reserve assets dropped sharply from 43.7% to 2 1.9%.

3. The strength of sanctions.

After the Russian-Ukrainian war lasted for more than 20 days, the United States became more and more motivated to fully sanction Russia in Europe. They smelled the possibility of defeating Russia economically, so they increased the sanctions. They ignored the rules and arbitrarily seized various assets outside Russia. In order to achieve the goal of choking Russian economy quickly, the descendants of Anglo-Saxons even tore up the social norms of inviolability of private property for many years, and even the personal assets of Russian rich groups in western countries began to follow suit.

Postscript: On the one hand, Russia uses the list of unfriendly countries to counter the stock business, and today it is even more threatening. Quit playing. Although the Russian Ministry of Economic Development has clarified, if the economic struggle between the United States, Europe and Russia continues to be complicated, no one can predict the subsequent results.
