ARIEL UPDATE, 1 FEB

People, think of it like this: these BRICS countries have used the existing dollar-based system for years relying on trade deals, borrowing in dollars, tapping into Western capital markets, and selling goods to Western economies.

That’s essentially how they’ve grown in the first place. Now, if they want to run off and form their own “clubhouse,” they can’t just pretend all those obligations, debts, and ties don’t exist.

A lot of their loans and bonds are denominated in dollars (or other Western currencies). They can’t just walk away from that without serious consequences defaulting or trying to switch currencies mid-stream is messy. You still have to pay back what you borrowed.

This is like a child who built a clubhouse in the backyard who no longer think they need their parents and assume they have authority now because they no longer use the main house for survival. Life doesn’t work this way. You have to earn your place and go through the growing pains.

Your house duties doesn’t dissappear because you think you’ve gained independence just because you got a tree house outside. Cleaning your room. Taking out the trash. Doing your laundry. Cleaning the basement. And mowing the lawn still has to be done. This does not go away because you got snacks and a backpack in your tree house.

it ranks third after both Saudi Arabia and the UAE, which is the reserve rate in them (499) billion A dollar for Saudi Arabia and (210) billion dollars as a reserve for the Emirates. He added that
 
Currency reserve
 
the country has large cash reserves, which is greater than 100 percent of the size of the exported currency,

Third place
 
Al -Marsoumi stated that Iraq's third place in the Arab world in terms of possessing foreign cash precautions is very important, for economic reasons at the forefront, helping to maintain the value of the local currency at a fixed price, and maintain liquidity to fulfill international financial obligations, as well as financing internal projects and reassuring investors Not to mention the diversification of investment portfolios.
 
Financial stability

cash reserve of any country, considered a source of financial stability, and a repetition of any financial storms that the economy can face, pointing out that it avoids financial pressure and revives sustainable development. He pointed out that the
 
cash precautions are defined as money that can be
