/Pogled.info/ There is a famous proverb: the wise learn from the mistakes of others, the smart learn from their own, and the foolish repeat them…
It seems that individual “servants of the people” who sit in power have already done so much that some of them should be fired, and maybe it wouldn’t hurt to have at least some of them prosecuted. But despite the mistakes made, they continue to guide the process.
The most obvious example is money and gold. Even during the so-called quarantine, which is now almost forgotten, tens and hundreds of tons of gold were exported from Russia on special flights. Thus, in 2019, a record was set – 113.5 tons were exported from the country. At the time, it seemed that the levels were unprecedented. However, subsequent events have shown that there is no limit.
For several years, the Central Bank completely stopped buying gold for the country’s reserves, and the government issued general licenses for the export of all, I emphasize, all gold mined in the country. According to official (!) data of the Federal Customs Service, the annual volume of gold exports from Russia exceeds 320 tons. London was the main export destination (91% of all production). In the British capital there is a world center from where Russian gold is distributed around the world.
If we analyze the indicators on an annual basis, then only, for example, in 2020, the export of gold from Russia increased by 160%. The reason is the total refusal of the Central Bank to buy precious metals for the country’s reserves. The bet was made on buying dollars and euros, pounds and francs, but not gold. As a result, the West received a colossal monetary “gift” from Russia with the introduction of Russophobic sanctions.
According to Bloomberg data, which was published a day ago, the European Union alone has frozen assets of the Central Bank of Russia in the amount of more than 200 billion euros.
Scammers in the European bureaucracy are simulating a situation that will allow them to transfer to the Kiev regime the profits obtained from the Russian assets that are stored in the international depository Euroclear. Russian assets worth more than 196.6 billion euros are stored there, of which 180 billion euros are assets of the Central Bank of Russia.
So, the mistake in the strategy led to significant losses. If the bet was made on gold, then the West would not have been able to inflict the damage that it was able to realize, due to the sincere but naive belief of the employees of the Russian Central Bank in the “sanctity” of the inviolability of property in Western countries.
It seems obvious that as soon as there is a crisis, Russophobic sanctions, it is necessary to increase investments in physical gold, but due to a very strange “coincidence”, Russian gold is again exported from Russia in tens of tons. The new centers where the metal goes are the Emirates, Hong Kong, Turkey.
Reuters, citing data from Russian customs, reports that more than 75.7 tons of Russian gold worth $4.3 billion went to the UAE in 2022. China and Turkey followed with a total of about 40 tons of exports from Russia. In total, more than 116.3 tons of gold were exported from Russia during this period. The share of these three countries represents 99.8% of Russian exports of precious metals.
Like this. The government has yet to learn from its own recent history and continues to advance the same hoe at our expense. Foreign currency is being bought again – instead of US dollars – Chinese yuan. As they say in such cases, turnips are not sweeter than horseradish. In addition, the previous refusal to bet on gold has already led to huge losses for Russia.
However, judging by the way in which gold is again exported from the country, the necessary conclusions have not been made.
