    This at the same time as SA moving to trade oil in currencies other than the dollar. All these quantitative changes keep coming and we’ll be in for a qualitative leap. When it tips, the US President is going to be stood there, scratching their head wondering wtf is up.

    While this is certainly possible, I’m a little skeptical that it will be widely adopted. Giving up currency sovereignty is huge for a government. If they’re not largely on the same page, it could go bad really fast. Latin America also has some huge ideological differences that could spill over into currency management. Remember Greece’s woes? Those were partially exasperated by Germany being a stick in the mud over the European Central Bank. I would expect Latin America to experience worse.

      The idea here is to replace the us dollar in regional international transactions between countries. Even if the plan goes gorward, which i’m skrptical, it won’t replace the local currencies
