 [5150] "Shanghai favourite for Brics development bank headquarters"

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jul/14/shanghai-brics-development-bank-headquarters-favourite

[5150] "The Brics will pool an initial $50bn (£29bn) in the bank, with each country contributing an equal amount, and seek to gain international influence by offering developing nations alternative financing to the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF), which have long been dominated by the US and Europe

The Brics will also set up a $100bn (£59bn) contingency reserve fund as an alternative to the IMF. It could start operating by next year to help any of its members if they were hit by an exodus of foreign capital"

"Many of the bank's rules of operation, such as investment in private projects, will be decided after its formal creation at the summit in the Brazilian city of Fortaleza. The bank is expected to make its first loan in 2016."
....
. "The Brics group is at the forefront of a growing chorus of emerging and developed nations that complain the IMF and World Bank impose belt-tightening policies in exchange for loans while giving them little say in deciding terms.

The proposed New Development Bank and the reserves fund are a response to failed attempts to increase the Brics' influence within the IMF, which lies at the centre of the post-second world war Bretton Woods monetary order created by the US and Europe."

Poppy3   THE NEWS IS WILD TODAY AND TONS OF IT FROM ALL THE MEETINGS SINCE THEY ADJOURNED SUNDAYS MEETING ENDED WITH NO OFFICIAL PROGRESS. TOMORROW [TUESDAY] THINGS ARE SAID TO BE READY TO GO FOR A FINISH. THEY ARE SAYING THE MEETINGS HAVE PRODUCED THREE SOLID CANDIDATES THEY HAVE ALL AGREED ON AND MALIKI ISN'T ONE OF THEM AND HE HAS NO VOTE. HIS OWN BLOC APPEARS TO HAVE PARTED WAYS WITH HIM AND WILL SUPPORT SOMEONE ELSE.   ...I AM GETTING EXCITED AGAIN. I CAN SEE AN END TO THIS.

wmawhite   [Do you believe no RV with M [Maliki] around?]  We can only go on what the CBI has stated and if the translation is correct, Turki made reference to when the government is decided and that is open to translation. Does anyone really think that Iraq is going to keep to value of the IQD at 1166 when they are going to be the richest country in the region? So if you believe they will or they need to increase the value of the IQD, does it matter to the CBI who is the PM?  I don't think so, just my Opinion.

 It may very well be that the Board of Directors of the CBI are waiting for the formation of the government regardless of who is the PM.  Have you noticed that the CBI has continued with the reforms of the banking system...they do not sit still.  Besides my thoughts/opinions about the CBI...I too believe that the different blocs will not agree to a government if Maliki is still there. I believe an all inclusive GOI is in their future.  [I think/hope that they are ready... get Turki a GOI and he will give us the RV.]  Agreed.

jdtolle » July 15th, 2014, Feel life getting better

Are your feelings held hostage by an uncaring, unpredictable world? They don’t have to be.

Are you joyful only when certain things happen, and sad when other things happen? There is a much better way.

Yes, negative things will happen and it is natural to be disappointed by them. Wonderful things will happen, and it is great to express joy.

But you don’t have to let the negative things keep you down. And you don’t have to hope or wait or beg for the good things in order to be joyful.

You can feel the way you choose to feel, no matter what may be going on around you. That doesn’t mean you are uncaring, but rather that you are intentional in the way you care.
Make positive use of that intention to choose the feelings that will improve the situation for everyone.

Feel life getting better, act on your feelings, and make your world a more positive place.

— Ralph Marston  

Wishing All a safe and blessed day
