Brazil’s Central Bank Promotes Pix as Cross-Border Payment Solution

Brazil’s central bank is reportedly looking to take the country’s instant-payment system, Pix, to the global stage.

With policymakers from the Group of 20 nations meeting in Sao Paulo to discuss faster and cheaper cross-border payments, the Central Bank of Brazil considers Pix to be a possible solution, Bloomberg reported Tuesday (Feb. 27).

Pix has quickly become a household name in the country, with over 160 million users adopting the payment method since its launch by the central bank in late 2020, according to the report. Its rapid uptake in Brazil has even surprised its creators, becoming a ubiquitous app in the country within months.

This popularity has attracted interest from authorities in Latin America, Europe and Africa, the report said.

Napoleon takes issue with the private character of the Bank of France:

“I should be the master in everything in which I am concerned and certainly regarding the Bank, which belongs more to the Emperor than to the stockholders, because it creates money.”

(2 April 1806)

“The Bank does not only belong to the shareholders, it also belongs to the State since it gives it the privilege of minting money... I want the Bank to be sufficiently in the hands of the Government… I'm not asking it to lend money, but to give facilities.”

(27 March 1806)

When money drives almost all activity on the planet, it’s essential that we understand it. The documentary 97% Owned aims to answer questions like: Where does the money come from? Who creates it? Who decides how it gets used? And what does that mean for the millions of ordinary people who suffer when money and finance break down?

97% Owned reveals how the creation of credit and the mystery that surrounds it. The documentary goes at the root of our current social and economic crisis. Referring to the 97% of the world’s money supply that is represented by credit, this thought-provoking film presents serious research and verifiable evidence on our economic and financial system. Featuring frank interviews and commentary from economists, campaigners and former bankers, it exposes the privatized, debt-based monetary system that gives banks the power to create money, shape the economy, cause crises and push house prices out of reach. Fact-based and clearly explained, 97% Owned demonstrates how the power to create money is the piece of the puzzle that economists were missing when they failed to predict the crisis.

FANTASY banknotes, political background - HOE STREET CENTRAL BANK. The reverses are similar to this one (hand stamped):

[badbirdnews]

Imagine a future where the central bank holds all the power and control over our financial transactions.

This is the reality that could come with the introduction of a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). Unlike traditional forms of money, a CBDC would give the central bank absolute authority over the rules and regulations that dictate its use. This means that the government would have unprecedented control over our financial activity, which could have dire consequences for our freedom.

One of the biggest concerns with a CBDC is its potential threat to privacy. With the ability to track every transaction and gather vast amounts of data, the government would have endless opportunities to monitor and control citizens’ financial activity. This level of surveillance could be used to target political opponents and suppress dissent. The mere thought of a government having such power should raise alarm bells for anyone who values their freedom and privacy.

Furthermore, a CBDC could be easily weaponized against those who oppose the government’s agenda. By controlling access to funds and monitoring transactions, the government could effectively silence dissenting voices and stifle any opposition. This would create a chilling effect on free speech and undermine the very foundations of democrac

It is crucial that we carefully consider the implications it could have on our freedom and privacy. The power that a central bank would wield with a CBDC is unprecedented, and we must ensure that safeguards are in place to protect our rights and liberties. The future of digital currency should not come at the expense of our fundamental freedoms. Congress should prohibit the Fed and Treasury from issuing a digital national currency. CBDCs have no place in the American economy.

The main focus of attention for the decision on the Brazil's base interest rate this week

Brazil's central bank is expected to announce a cut to the base interest rate this week, but market participants are likely to be more focused on the monetary authority's message than on the decision itself.

On March 20, the bank is forecast to reduce the Selic rate by another 50 basis points to 10.75%.

"The central bank will almost certainly cut the Selic rate by 50 basis points on Wednesday. I think the key will be whether they change the forward guidance in the accompanying communications," William Jackson, chief emerging markets economist at Capital Economics, told BNamericas.

"It’s hard to know whether they’ll do this, but my sense is that, given the strength we’ve seen in some of the underlying inflation data, the central bank will become less committed to continuing to cut rates in 50 basis-point steps, perhaps leaving the door open to smaller cuts from the June [central bank rate committee] Copom meeting," he added.

Polish lawmakers accuse central bank governor of bond-buying faults

The head of Poland’s central bank has been charged with violating constitutional rules in implementing a bond-buying programme and misleading the finance ministry, according to a motion to prosecute him in a state court.

Donald Tusk’s new government coalition has launched sweeping reforms of state media and the judiciary, which it says were hijacked by the previous government.

Deputy Prime Minister Krzysztof Gawkowski said the coalition had collected the 115 signatures needed to submit a 68-page petition to the speaker of parliament to oust National Bank of Poland (NBP) governor Adam Glapinski, who denies wrongdoing. Gawkowski told TVP Info television on Thursday:

These are very strong allegations, these are allegations that, in my opinion, give me full right to say that there will be a state tribunal.

A parliamentary committee will review the motion before bringing it to a vote of the full chamber.
