Going back to the substance of your original post, Jan, I'm just
wondering if this is a trend which will spread world-wide as a natural
consequence of the recent phenomenon of de-dollarization as countries
seek to divest themselves of dollar assets in the wake of the
financial sanctions imposed on Russia. We should keep a wary eye open
for further examples of this going forward as it could ultimately have
serious consquences for world peace.
