More News, Rumors and Opinions Saturday Morning 1-16-16

Treat as rumor - from Martha

As excited as we all are at this point, I suggest that we sit back and relax this weekend.

TREAT AS RUMOR till I get further confirmation but IMO we are still approximately a week away from our blessing. I will try to pinpoint a time frame later today.

Two very important things to realize. This is NOT a stop or a breakdown but a slower roll out by China.

Also, these dates may still be in play 20th, 22nd and 23rd.The markets are in turmoil on purpose thus releasing large amounts of assets at this time

I will get more info later today. I would watch the BRICS and the AIIB and what they are doing this weekend.

Lets say there are still some housekeeping chores for all countries involved as well.    Martha

Walkingstick:  Iran close to collecting $100B in frozen assets after nuke deal compliance, country official says

Published January 16, 2016

Iran's foreign minister suggested Saturday that the U.N. atomic agency is close to certifying that his country has met all commitments under its landmark nuclear deal with six world powers, as he began a series of meetings with his European Union and U.S. counterparts on implementing the accord.

"All oppressive sanctions imposed against Iran will be annulled today," Mohammad Javad Zarif said in comments on Iranian state TV -- a reference to the start of the process that will end financial and other penalties imposed on his country once the U.N. agency says Tehran has fulfilled its obligations to restrict its nuclear programs.

Certification by the International Atomic Energy Agency would allow Iran to immediately recoup some $100 billion in assets frozen overseas. The benefits of new oil, trade and financial opportunities from suspended sanctions could prove far more valuable for Tehran in the long run.

Zarif and EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini, who met Saturday morning, were to be joined later by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry in Vienna, headquarters of the IAEA. Kerry's plane landed in the early afternoon.

Zarif said the deal between his country and the six world powers would hold, telling Iranian media that all parties would "not allow the outcome of these talks to be wasted."

The agreement, struck after decades of hostility, defused the likelihood of U.S. or Israeli military action against Iran, something Zarif alluded to.

"Our region has been freed from shadow of an unnecessary conflict that could have caused concerns for the region," he said. "Today is also a good day for the world. Today will prove that we can solve important problems through diplomacy."

Iran insists all of its nuclear activities are peaceful. But under the July 14 deal, Iran agreed to crimp programs which could be used to make nuclear weapons in return for an end to sanctions.

The agreement puts Iran's various nuclear activities under IAEA watch for up to 15 years, with an option to re-impose sanctions should Tehran break its commitments.

Walkingstick: Xi officially launches AIIB

Updated: January 16, 2016 13:48 IST

The China-led Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) was formally opened for business on Saturday, signaling the steady revamp of the global financial architecture, which will also soon incorporate the New Development Bank of the Brazil-Russia-India-China-South Africa (BRICS) grouping.

Chinese President Xi Jinping, in his inaugural address saw the launch of the AIIB as “a historical moment." "Asia's financing needs for basic infrastructure are absolutely enormous," Mr. Xi observed. He added that the bank would target investments in "high-quality, low-cost" projects.

Analysts say that the AIIB is likely to lend anywhere between $10 billion-$15 billion a year during the first five or six years of its existence.

Earlier in an interview, Chinese Finance Minister Lou Jiwei — the first Chairman of its council — described the AIIB as a milestone in the reform of the global economic governance system.

The AIIB is expected to open a new channel of funding for the Global South, which was so far dependent on the western backed International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank (ADB), in which Japan plays a pre-eminent role.

Observers say that the new lender will focus on infrastructure development in Asia — a move that is likely to support the Eurasian connectivity initiative under the China-led Belt and Road framework.

In an article in the People’s Daily, the official newspaper of the Communist Party of China (CPC), the bank’s President-designate, Jin Liqun, stressed the bridging the digital divide between the regional and global economies would be the bank’s top priority. The article said that the bank will focus on digital infrastructure including fixed broadband networks, cross border and undersea fiber optic telecommunication cables, wireless sensor networks, satellite services, new generation mobile telecommunication networks, cloud computing and big data platforms.

“The future Board of Governors will formulate policies based on the demand of members to help break down digital barriers and cultivate a new pattern of economic growth,” Mr. Jin observed. Transportation, clean energy, urban infrastructure, agriculture and logistics are some of the other priorities. Mr. Jin explained that internet-based information technology infrastructure and connectivity play a key role in transforming economy and boosting innovation.

The formation of the AIIB led to opened cracks in the Atlantic Alliance, with major European countries including Germany, Britain and France broke ranks with the United States to join the 57-member Bank.

Significantly, Suma Chakrabarti, President of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) was in the audience during Saturday’s launch, signaling the deepening connect between Europe and Asia in bolstering Eurasian connectivity. China, the world’s second largest economy, has become the 67th member of the EBRD.

In an interview with Xinhua news agency, Mr. Chakrabarti lauded China’s Belt and Road initiative for the development of the region and trade.

"The Silk Road will reduce time taken for exports between China and Europe. If we can get the infrastructure moving this will reduce the costs of imports and exports both ways between China and Europe," he observed.

Mr. Chakrabarti said that the formation of the AIIB would provide "healthy additional international firepower for the international system".

"The demand for infrastructure in our shared region is great; we cannot fulfill it alone. Nor could we with the World Bank or the Asian Development Bank, together we couldn't do all of it. So it is great to have this additional firepower," he observed.

The EBRD was set up in 1991 to aid infrastructure development in Eastern Europe. Since then it has broadened its area of operations to include central Asia, some Mediterranean and North African nations, the Balkans and Southern Europe.
