Global Power Shift

International Monetary System: returning to a fixed exchange rate regime
The petrodollar system has been in agony for several years now. We wrote in our GEAB No. 100 that our team’s belief was that we were about to live through the final collapse of this system in 2016. Since it is the pillar of the current international monetary order, its fall will allow (even force) the establishment of a new international monetary system, the chaotic “birth” of which we are able to anticipate for 2017. After the foreseeable upheavals of 2016, this system will aim to recreate the conditions for a stabilization of the global economy, notably through a multi-monetary basis... (GEAB By LEAP)

Croatia veto on Serbia’s EU talks causes surprise
Last week was a bad week for Serbia’s bid to join the EU. At a working group meeting in the EU Council on Thursday (7 April ), the Croatian delegate refused to endorse the European Commission’s opinion that Serbia is ready to open talks on Chapter 23 of the accession book, which deals with judiciary and human rights. According to the EU’s “fundamentals first” enlargement strategy, this is one of the “superchapters” that is crucial to the whole process. Serbia had hoped it would be opened by June, paving the way for other chapters... (EUObserver)
