Major central banks have totally lost control and the world economy is now floating around helplessly without direction.
Since sound money must be scarce, fiat money can never be sound since unlimited amounts can be and have been created. One of the very important features of gold is that it is scarce. The total global gold stock only increases by 1.7% or 3,000 tones per annum.
So scarcity is one of the important reasons why gold is the only currency that has survived in history.

Talks include preemptive measures such as extending loan periods to ease the annual debt service burden of over US$400 billion for poor countries.
Ideas also involve increased financing from the World Bank and others to address high borrowing rates.
The aim is to implement these measures before countries default and enter formal restructuring talks with creditors.
The Treasury Department: "we talk frequently with China about sovereign debt concerns.
And we talk to many countries about how to make sure the international financial architecture is meeting low-income country financing needs".

UN Urges Debt Relief for Developing Nations

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) warns that the debt crisis in developing nations has reached unprecedented levels, with debt servicing consuming an increasing share of national revenues at the expense of development.
A new policy brief, released ahead of the G20 finance ministers meeting in Cape Town, highlights that 56 developing countries now spend over 10% of their revenue on interest payments, with 17 exceeding 20%, heightening default risks.
Total external public debt for the 31 poorest nations at risk of debt distress is estimated at $205 billion, while global debt servicing reached a record $1.4 trillion in 2023.
UNDP urges immediate reforms, including a more effective debt restructuring framework, systemic relief initiatives, and reduced borrowing costs to prevent a lost decade of development.
The upcoming Financing for Development conference in June will be a key platform for addressing these urgent issues.
