Chapter 3012 Foreign Exchange

What is the US dollar?

"US dollar" is the common name for the US dollar, not the official name of the currency. Both refer to the same legal tender of the United States of America (currency symbol $, code USD).

The core definition of foreign exchange is: all assets denominated in foreign currencies that can be settled and paid internationally. Simply put, it is "foreign money and foreign assets that can be used globally." It does not only refer to foreign banknotes, but must also have the core functions of free convertibility and international settlement.

The US dollar is one of the specific currencies in foreign exchange.

Foreign exchange reserves are the total amount of foreign exchange assets that a country holds, are centrally managed and held by its central bank on behalf of the country, and are freely convertible internationally. Simply put, they are the country's "foreign exchange reserves" and are the core guarantee for the country to carry out international economic activities and cope with external financial risks.

So where do foreign exchange reserves come from?

my country's foreign exchange reserves are accumulated through multiple channels, but the most core and primary source (accounting for over 80%) is the foreign exchange earned by domestic enterprises abroad. As long as it is export trade, the money earned is foreign exchange.

For example, if a country exports goods worth 20 trillion and imports goods worth 5 trillion, then the remaining foreign exchange reserves would be 15 trillion.

US dollars are the most important component of my country's foreign exchange reserves, and the US dollars donated by the country to other countries are also directly allocated from this "foreign exchange reserve".

So here comes the key question: why do countries often provide aid to other countries and donate US dollars?

Ordinary people's consciousness:

"People in our own country are so poor they can't even afford to eat, and you're still going to help the poor?"

"You have money to donate to us?"

"It would be so much better to invest so much money in domestic economic development..."

"You have too much money and nowhere to put it, right?"

In fact, my country is a major exporting country, and its import and export trade has always had a huge surplus, meaning that it earns more than it spends. As a result, it has accumulated a large amount of foreign exchange reserves over the years, and due to the United States' hegemonic status, the US dollar accounts for the majority of its foreign exchange reserves.

Therefore, they use foreign exchange to buy US Treasury bonds, but they can't buy all of them, in case the US defaults or imposes sanctions and freezes them all.

Considering that Russia's foreign exchange reserves are currently frozen.

The Federal Reserve can also directly reduce the value of US Treasury bondholders' assets through operations such as raising interest rates, lowering interest rates, shrinking or expanding its balance sheet, and printing money without limit.

Money that isn't used will expire.

If all foreign exchange is used to buy US Treasury bonds, then we will become "passive takers" of the Fed's monetary policy. Therefore, we must also make the US dollar circulate, not only so that it can be spent, but also so that it can flow back.

Therefore, the direction of foreign exchange spending naturally shifted to importing strategic materials (oil, food, and semiconductors), providing emergency humanitarian aid abroad, and intervening in the market to stabilize the RMB exchange rate.

As mentioned earlier, can the foreign exchange earned by domestic companies be converted into RMB and used for charitable or infrastructure projects in China?

The essence of foreign exchange conversion to RMB is that the trading company goes to the bank to exchange it for RMB. But here's the problem: although the company has exchanged the RMB and taken it away, the US dollars it earned are still sitting in our bank.

On the contrary, there is more and more RMB in the domestic market.

If the donated US dollars were brought back to the people to spend, the consequence would be that foreign exchange would remain foreign exchange, while the domestic RMB would be flooded, affecting the market economy and causing inflation and contraction.

Therefore, foreign exchange can only be spent abroad.

This is the significance of international donations and loans.

For example, most of our aid to Africa comes in the form of interest-free infrastructure project loans.

For example, loans for railways, highways, and power plants, although interest-free, are secured by local mineral resources, allowing us to obtain raw materials.

Furthermore, most of these infrastructure projects are contracted and constructed by companies from our country, so a large portion of these aid dollars will flow back.

Therefore, the aid not only greatly helps the local people and socio-economic development, but also creates a win-win-win situation.

If you win, you can spend the foreign exchange.

A win-win situation: international reputation.

A win-win-win situation: domestic enterprises with overcapacity find new outlets overseas.

Of course, my country donates money to foreign countries and invests in building factories and infrastructure abroad.

Foreign companies are also building factories and establishing businesses in my country. Doesn't this logic seem familiar?

Rome wasn't built in a day.

However, the country's strategic vision extends to 5 or 10 years into the future.

Those countries that have developed thanks to our donations, due to their economic rise, can actually be of great help to us in terms of foreign exchange circulation. Whether it is imports or exports between the two countries, there will be considerable preferential treatment.

Of course, you can even settle in RMB, which would be more stable and even improve the RMB exchange rate.

"Foreign exchange plays a far-reaching role in the country's economic strategy. Therefore, when enterprises retain foreign exchange reserves, it can play a decisive role at critical moments."

Lingling expressed her approval of other people keeping their foreign exchange abroad, and even encouraged me to do the same.

Needless to say, you have to listen to your wife.

My main source of funds is currently foreign exchange from companies like AI-powered adult toy companies and NM blind box companies.

A month is a short time.

After my deliberate prompting, Lingling finally agreed not to take any safety precautions.

Have children while you're young.

It won't interfere with my work, nor will it affect my future.

Lotus City.

Municipal Party Committee.

Office of the Municipal Party Committee Secretary.

Sister Tong looked delighted and handed me the company's financial statements.

"The economic effects of the integrated project for people's livelihood sectors are much better than expected. It has reduced losses, increased profits, lowered the cost of living for ordinary people, indirectly increased the frequency of consumption, and boosted the city's GDP!"

"The basic logic behind Zero Zero's initial design of this integrated theory of people's livelihood and enterprises was that as long as people have money, the city's economy can increase its consumption capacity, the market can circulate, and the benefits of entrepreneurship, employment, and taxation will follow one after another."

"genius."

Tongjie praised Lingling in front of me.

I touched my nose and said, "The key is that someone has to carry it out. I'm being cursed at by so many people in the provincial capital right now."

Sister Tong's eyes flickered: "Those who criticize you are all rich people. If you pool their money and invest it in the integrated livelihood project, that can be considered the rich helping the poor, which is in line with the basic interests of the country and the people. No one can really argue with that logic. Liancheng is doing great, isn't it? All the section chiefs and above are investing. I encourage them to start businesses, and now, the people are giving it rave reviews."

"Haha, so are you getting a promotion, sis?"

"Around the end of next year, I guess."

This is my sister, my dear older sister.

Once she goes to the provincial capital to be promoted to vice-ministerial level, my difficult situation in the provincial capital will immediately improve!
