According to Chinese President Xi Jinping, the BRICS countries must promote a reform of the international monetary and financial system.
Additionally, he thinks that everyone should write international laws rather than distinct groups establishing international law for the entire world.
"It is necessary to give full play to the role of the New Development Bank, facilitate the form of the international monetary and financial system and strengthen the representation and the voice of developing countries," he stated.

China Paves the Way for Debt Relief

China's central bank is pushing for fair burden-sharing among creditors in debt restructurings for emerging market countries, indicating a proactive stance on global debt issues.
China's recent move to write off undisclosed amounts of Zimbabwe's interest-free loans aligns with its commitment to assist African nations burdened by external debt.
Since 2000, China has made debt relief a norm, providing crucial support to sub-Saharan African countries without imposing strict conditions.
This approach could influence other lenders and boost investor confidence, ultimately attracting further financial support for debtor nations.

Musk: This partnership can unlock a Star Trek future

In a landmark move, U.S. President Donald Trump signed a “Strategic Economic Partnership” with Saudi Arabia on May 13, 2025, securing $600 billion in investments across AI, technology, energy, and defense. The agreement, signed with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in Riyadh, marks a pivotal step in deepening the 80-year U.S.-Saudi alliance, with ambitions to scale investments to $1 trillion over four years.
The deal includes a $142 billion defense package, the largest in U.S. history, bolstering Saudi military capabilities with advanced U.S. equipment. Additionally, $20 billion from DataVolt will fund AI infrastructure, while $80 billion in joint tech ventures signals a shift toward innovation-driven economies. Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, aimed at diversifying from oil, aligns with these investments, particularly in AI and tech.
American business titans, including Tesla’s Elon Musk, OpenAI’s Sam Altman, and BlackRock’s Larry Fink, joined Trump at the Saudi royal court, underscoring the deal’s economic weight. The Saudi-U.S. Investment Forum, where Musk spoke, highlighted transformative technologies like Tesla’s Optimus robots and autonomous robo-taxis.
Musk concluded his speech with optimism: “I’m very excited about the future and very glad to be here. This partnership can unlock a world of prosperity, where humanoid robots and AI drive unprecedented economic growth, potentially creating a universal high-income society. Together, we can explore the stars and understand the universe.” His vision of a “Star Trek future” resonated with Saudi ambitions to lead in innovation.
This partnership not only strengthens U.S.-Saudi ties but also positions both nations as global leaders in the AI and tech revolution, promising economic prosperity and technological advancement.

Trump Allies Target Fed's Independence: WSJ

Some members of Trump's team are devising plans to restructure the Federal Reserve, which could grant the president direct influence over interest rate decisions and potentially remove the current Fed Chair, Jerome Powell, from office before his term ends in 2026.
This move is part of a broader strategy by Trump's allies to diminish the Federal Reserve's independence if he secures a second term, amidst internal disagreements among his advisers on how forcefully to challenge the central bank's authority.

This effort follows the federal government's actions in 2020, during Trump's tenure, where large portions of the financial markets were nationalized, with the Federal Reserve providing the necessary funds.
Notably, BlackRock was entrusted with executing the trades, effectively merging the Federal Reserve and Treasury into a singular entity.
