We start today's podcast discussing geopolitical events with respect to Ukraine, surrounding the divisions between the US and EU and Blinken's visit to Saudi Arabia. We then discuss further de-dollarisation developments related to the Asian Clearing Union, discussions at SPIEF and further developments associated with the BRICS currency. We conclude discussing an upcoming summit which is as much a western rebranding exercise to try to convince the Global South that we do care about their plight.
