IMF member countries are receiving their shares of new SDRs, of about US$650 billion, the largest in the funds history! This is a shot in the arm for the world and will help bolster confidence and strengthen the resilience of the global economy.
The SDR is an international reserve asset created by the IMF to supplement the official reserves of its member countries.
The SDR is not a currency. It is a potential claim on the freely usable currencies of IMF members. As such, SDRs can provide a country with liquidity.
A SDR is not a loan & is cost-free for all IMF members. Unlike an extended fund facility, the government does not have to request any arrangement & there is no repayment involved. All member countries can use their allocated SDRs unconditionally.
IMF urges wealthy nations to direct $650 billion SDR share to vulnerable countries.
Zimbabwe to use more than half of IMF funds to prop up the currency.

Eurasian alliance plans its own gold standard

Towards the end of July, news emerged in the Russian media that Moscow and a number of its Eurasian allies are now reviewing a proposal to create an entirely new trading and pricing infrastructure for the international precious metals in order to both destroy London and New York's monopoly over global precious metals pricing and to stabilize the Russian gold market.
The basis of this new structure will be a new, specialized international precious metals brokerage headquartered in Moscow, which will rely on the MWS.
Russia is also proposing to fix prices of precious metals in the national currencies of key member countries or via a new monetary unit - such as the new BRICS currency proposed by Putin.
The price-fixing committee would include central banks and other large banks from the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU).
Member states of the EEU are Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, and Armenia.
The idea would be to make membership attractive to big gold players like China, India, Venezuela, Peru, and other South American countries.

Mississippi to Phase Out Income Tax Under New Law

Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves has officially signed a bill into law that sets the state on a path to phase out its income tax. The legislation, a major victory for conservative economic policy, aims to gradually reduce and eventually eliminate personal income tax in the state, making Mississippi one of the few states without such a levy.
Supporters argue that the move will attract businesses, boost economic growth, and put more money into the hands of residents. Opponents, however, warn that eliminating the tax could strain state revenues, potentially affecting funding for education, infrastructure, and public services.
Gov. Reeves hailed the decision as a step toward greater financial freedom, emphasizing Mississippi's commitment to lower taxes and a pro-business environment. The phase-out plan will occur over several years, with incremental reductions to ensure a smooth transition.
Mississippi now joins a growing number of states pursuing aggressive tax-cutting measures, reflecting a broader national debate over taxation and economic policy.
