Russia got rid of the largest package of US debt securities

162
The economic topic of the day is connected with the fact that the Russian Federation continues to systematically refuse to service the American debt. A few years ago, the amount of Russian investments in American debt securities exceeded 130 billion dollars, which put the Russian Federation among the largest US assistants in servicing their incredible debts. To date, the situation has changed significantly.

For the first time in a long time, the report of the Ministry of Finance of the United States of Russia is not among the 33-s major holders of US debt. It is known that at the beginning of the summer of 2018, the amount of US debt, which remains in the “disposal” of Russia, fell below the 15 billion mark. Thus, only for the two months preceding the specified period, Russia got rid of the American debt securities for an impressive amount of 80 billion dollars.



Russia got rid of the largest package of US debt securities


At the end of last year, Russia contained US Treasury bonds worth over 102 billion.

For comparison: now Russia contains American debt in an amount less than, for example, than Kazakhstan.

Among the largest holders of US debt are China (1,18 trillion dollars), Japan (1,048 trillion) and Ireland (0,3 trillion).

Getting rid of the overly impressive amount of US debt securities actually indicates an increase in economic security. After all, this kind of investment has recently turned into an object for the Russian Federation, to which ideologists of anti-Russian sanctions in the United States could have had an eye on at any moment.

                "Russia is getting rid of American debts" ...
                They just somehow forget that Russia has just reached the level of 2007.
                We were almost independent of American kookies. And all these years, this money worked for the US economy.

                  Very interesting. But tell me, where did petrodollars go before 2007?

                  We were almost independent of American kookies.

                  Only in the dreams of couch generals.
                  In my opinion, since the formation of the stabilization fund in 2004, our country has taken a small step from the state of "highly controlled" to state "very dependent".
                  Now we are witnessing another step towards even weaker dependence on the global hegemon and increased economic security? Didn't everyone read the last paragraph in the article? Chukchi is not a reader ... Chukchi is a writer?

                  Nostalgic for 2007 is an indicator.

      "Assessment of key aggregates of the balance of payments of the Russian Federation in January-June 2018
      According to preliminary estimates of the Bank of Russia current account surplus of the balance of payments of the Russian Federation in the first half of 2018 increased to $ 53,2 billion US compared with $ 23,9 billion in January-June 2017. The decisive role played one and a half times strengthening of the trade balance, which reached 90,6 billion US dollars against the backdrop of a favorable international pricing environment for major Russian exports, with a moderate increase in the aggregate negative contribution of other components of the current account.
      The net export of capital by the private sector in January-June 2018, according to the Bank of Russia, amounted to $ 17,3 billion ($ 14,4 billion a year earlier). In contrast to the situation a year earlier, the dynamics of net lending to the rest of the world by the private sector was determined by the demand for foreign assets from other sectors with a less significant contribution to the export of capital from bank operations.
      The international reserves of the Russian Federation in the first half of 2018 due to balance of payments transactions grew by 30,6 billion US dollars (US $ 18,9 billion in January-June 2017), mainly due to the acquisition of foreign currency under the budget rule and the return by credit institutions to the Bank of Russia of previously provided foreign currency liquidity.

That surely works somewhere. Ask the employer in a harsh form for a report on where he has done the work he has earned including the honest work of the employee. He will most clearly explain what owes to whom and to whom and where whose place (before he sends to look for a new job) will be absolutely right. If not for this news, 98% would not have known about it at all and would have slept peacefully. And here it’s immediately interesting to calculate someone else’s money, which they immediately became their own, “we are citizens - well, how do you divide it all and pay a premium to each citizen of these funds”.

Now it is diversifying the account, the amount of gold is increasing, as well as the euro and the yuan. In addition, trading for local currencies with neighbors requires currency swaps.

Considering that modern money is the essence of debt obligations, the financial agent simply changed, instead of the debt of the US Treasury (Treasury), we now have the debt of the US Federal Reserve (central bank / state bank), and it is not yet clear which is better.

          1. The money collected in all kinds of reserve funds should be spent on general development programs, on the construction of infrastructure (the same roads), on the creation of industries, on investments in education and health care, on the same army in the end, but not on consumption. Home loans are consumption. Consumption should be funded by cream from a working economy and not by eating up reserves. Reserves are needed to create this economy, or in the worst case, to maintain what is afloat.
          2. What do you think about housing prices when there is affordable credit? That's right, they take off into space. Even to the Khrushchevs ... because no one buys it for what they have earned, but everyone buys it for free credit money ... and also to give this free money from reserves ... well, I think such an idea.

          If something is to be credited, then production must be credited ... creating added value and jobs ... no, building cottages also creates .. only these jobs are low-skilled and the added value is greatly inflated by a credit bubble. It is better to credit the production of SU-57 already.

    The system is such (created in 1945). In order for the United States to collapse, someone needs to ask them to repay the debt, but at the same time, borrowers understand that the United States will declare itself bankrupt and the dollar will depreciate. Since almost all payments between countries in dollars, this means a collapse of the global economy. Judging by the accumulation of gold reserves in Russia and China, after a while they can go to the collapse of the global economy. Then there will be either a US star, or (which is much more likely) the third world one. IMHO, as an option, the USA can pay off its debts - if they sell a piece of Alaska for $ 20 trillion and that's it, there are no debts! There are those who want to buy 100%.
    In the meantime, the situation is this - the debtor holds a gun at the creditor’s temple and he forgets about the demand for debt and willingly lends more. Racket on a global scale.

    Among the largest holders of US debt are China (1,18 trillion dollars), Japan (1,048 trillion) and Ireland (0,3 trillion).
    Getting rid of more than an impressive amount of US debt securities actually indicates an increase in economic security

    So China does not care about improving economic security .. and the Russian Federation, possessing much smaller reserves, is already independent (from US debt securities) ... the author has a contradiction right away.
    You might think that money was sharply needed? After all, they were not transferred to rubles or yuan then ..
