" ABOUT CHINA AND EAST ASIA AS MAIN DRIVERS OF GLOBAL GROWTH" BY GOLDILOCKS, 29 MAY
GOLDILOCKS
Goldilocks 5.28.24 ~ "The OECD’s Lombardelli expects China and East Asia to be the main drivers of global growth, as reported by the Financial Times.
While, based on exports alone, the WTO sees Africa growing faster than any other region this year – up 5.3%, if from a low base. North America (3.6%), the Middle East (3.5%) and Asia (3.4%) should all see moderate export growth, while it expects European exports to trail other regions at just 1.7%."
Do you see these numbers? These numbers are the result of digitizing the shipping ports and the supporting services that keep them running.
Look closely at the numbers again, and you will see that these numbers are reflective of rising export calculations in trade growth.
This is a result of rerouting many of our trade routes these last 4 years allowing new demands to increase in the products that go across our waters.
These new demands on goods are in the category of exports. Exports creates demands on the now local currencies being traded around the world. These new currency demands will increase the value of them going forward.
This is why the World Trade Organization (WTO) has been working on percentage changes earlier this year. The new percentage changes are expected to come out the second half of this year.
These new percentages will help them to determine credit valuation adjustments for countries regarding their new exchange values.
WATCH THE WATER.

IQD/VND/USD: Which Currency Will Actually RV? BY AWAKE IN 3D, 29 MAY
IQD/VND/USD: Which Currency Will Actually RV?
Continuing on from my article explaining International Monetary Units: How SDRs Lead to Our GCR, Gold-backed digital currencies have gained significant attention recently, evolving from conceptual ideas to practical financial instruments.
Especially within the growing BRICS Alliance of nations.
Historically, the idea of a stable monetary unit has been explored through various means, culminating in the modern implementation of gold-backed digital stablecoins.
Introduction to Gold-Backed Digital Currencies
Gold-backed digital currencies promise to reset and revalue exchange rates between traditional fiat currencies and new gold-anchored currencies.
By anchoring a currency to gold, countries can stabilize their national currencies against the inherent volatility of fiat currencies.
This revaluation process involves pegging the value of a national currency to a specific quantity of gold, providing a consistent and reliable measure of value.
As a result, exchange rates will reflect the true value of the currencies in relation to gold, reducing the influence of market speculation and economic instability.
This mechanism ensures that gold-backed digital currencies maintain a stable value, fostering trust and confidence in their use for cross-border transactions.
Advantages Over Traditional Fiat Currencies
Gold-backed digital currencies offer several advantages over traditional fiat currencies.
These digital assets combine the stability of gold with the convenience and efficiency of modern financial technologies.
Advances in FinTech (Financial Technologies) have made it feasible to create and manage digital stablecoins that are securely backed by physical gold, ensuring their value remains stable over time.
Unlike fiat currencies, which can be subject to inflation and political instability, gold-backed digital currencies provide a reliable store of value.
Gold Stablecoins: Anchors for New Currencies
Digital gold stablecoins are backed by physical gold, meaning each unit of the stablecoin represents a specific quantity of gold held in reserve.
This backing provides intrinsic value, making the stablecoin a reliable store of value and medium of exchange.
The process of transferring digital gold stablecoins between countries is streamlined by blockchain technology, allowing for instant and secure transactions without the need to physically move gold.
This mechanism not only ensures the stability of the currency but also enhances the efficiency and security of cross-border payments.
Future Implications for Global Finance
Gold-backed digital stablecoins represent a revolutionary development in the global financial system. They offer a stable and practical solution for international trade, reducing reliance on volatile fiat currencies.
