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.

20 countries apply to join BRICS

According to Sergey Ryabkov, the deputy foreign minister of Russia, there are currently about 20 countries applying for membership in the BRICS, and that number is only increasing.
"I can say that, in our view, the Arab world and the Asia-Pacific region have been clearly 'begging' to join BRICS, as they have no representation there today.
But we will see exactly what we can offer to the leaders regarding this, and leave this to the leaders to decide at the summit in Johannesburg," he concluded.

The "Golden Age" Study Launched

Trump-backed candidate for Florida's 1st Congressional District, Jimmy Patronis, is advocating for Florida to adopt gold and silver as legal tender.
This aligns perfectly with Donald Trump's recent statement that "the golden age of America has already begun."
Notably, Trump resides at his private Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, further underscoring the symbolic connection between his vision for a "golden age" and Florida's potential embrace of precious metals.
"Gold and silver have been trusted assets for thousands of years, and it makes perfect sense to use them as legal tender.
I'm launching this study to determine the best way to get it done," Patronis stated in a press release this week.
