Only now is the significance of the establishment of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank being realized in the financial circles in the U.S. It is painful for the developed world to see the global influence of the U.S. waning as China establishes an alternative financial system to that of the developed world, such as the World Bank/I.M.F. The next step in the well coordinated change in the monetary system is for the convertibility of the Yuan to be taken to a level where it is recognized as a “well-used currency” that qualifies it to become a global player included in global central bank reserves. It has one advantage over the dollar that is incontrovertible and that is, it has no presence now and can only grow. The U.S. dollar and the euro are omnipresent in global central bank reserves, so can only diminish. With 80% of global growth coming from Asia in the future there is a very long way to go in changing the global monetary system. Gold will have a significant presence in this change and will not be held back as it has been from 1971 in these roles. And it is scheduled to start later this year not in a decade or more!
