live from moscow this is r t with you twenty four hours a day top stories this be head of the e.u. calls for yet more money to be made available to struggling economies as italy and spain slide towards debts of distress and the cost of pouring songs. syria's president issues are to create legalizing opposition political parties in the country and was being dismissed by anti-government protesters who claim that being massacred by bashar assad's forces. and
2:31 pm
a failed palestinian suicide bomber tells r.t. about a new mission for patience called before detonating a device that is now trying to promote tolerance between israelis and palestinians . on the back of another update for in about fifteen minutes from now in the meantime the financial troubles piling up in both the eurozone and the u.s. may feel like a relatively recent phenomena but the former head of russia's central bank says the debts been swirling around for ages and next he tells r.t. how it's being used as a political pawn and. that is to get russian to hello and thank you very much for being here you became had of the central bank when russia began pursuing its shock therapy policy bowling advice from american accents how would you advise your american colleagues now with the situation they are facing budget both of them. live within your means that's all that's just what they told us back then with no idea at all about our economic and
2:32 pm
social situation at the time that was in one nine hundred ninety two when we began well part of the government began to listen to their advice after russia joined the i.m.f. that year later they wrote and the famous stieglitz a nobel laureate and former economic advisor to clinton was among them that they were doing everything wrong they were telling us was all wrong. if we think about the ability to lead we've been ones means who's better at that russia back than or today's usa. you see the u.s.s.r. was living on credit of course but it was solvent and other states were eager to give credit even the us build a lot it wasn't doing it directly through european affiliates they all knew after all that the soviet economy was under control and that the country would pay its debts sooner or later even without high oil prices that's why they were eager to give credit to the u.s.s.r.
2:33 pm
especially to finance the purchase of high tech goods to be supplied to the soviet market the fact is though that after nine hundred thirty two a time of crisis for the us america wouldn't sell the u.s.s.r. complete production facilities like a car plant in tell ya he or chemical plants of which the u.s.s.r. had brought for four billion dollars worth and which had played their part in its technical progress but anyway it's over unions credit rating was quite high it has been easy for the us to take credit because of the entire system that's been built up since nine hundred forty five when the i.m.f. was being set up there was a heated dispute between the u.k. and the us of course the british had to back off because their economy had been greatly damaged by the war that later led to the devaluation of the pound some years after the war in fact all of europe was living off the marshall plan back then and that consisted mostly of agricultural commodities along with some industrial plants and factories that had depleted their technological potential
2:34 pm
ones that the us didn't need anymore and this in part was the reason for the america's technological leap over more recent years though with production capacities growing rapidly in the third world and share of production in america's g.d.p. has been shrinking that's how america began to live on credit and living on credit is always difficult as a time may come sooner or later when debts will have to be paid off right now nobody wants to remember that it was in the early nineties when bush and the republicans came to power that the us external state debt obtained by issuing treasury. bones with different terms so anything from one week to twenty years and interest rates grew massively right now it has been increased still further so generally it all happened under the republican rule my question is then why all the hubbub now it's just political games but nothing more. than our college time do you think the usa has left before it has to start leading with. the work.
2:35 pm
you see speaking of the country's gold reserves with the u.s.s.r. only joined the i.m.f. in one thousand nine hundred two although it was among its founders back in ninety four he fired the soviet delegation took part in all relevant discussions and we even managed to secure the right to keep our contribution to the capital of the world by goals the reserves of which stalin was very keen to control the gold was to be kept in the u.s.s.r. with the i.m.f. having the right to come at any time to check it was still there and hadn't been sold the u.s.s.r. could join the i.m.f. before december the first nine hundred forty five were but then the head of the state planning committee was near since he stepped in and said we we came out of the war so poor that if we gather and file all the stats required by the i.m.f. all we'll see is how much we actually lost in the war so we better not join i.m.f. rules dictate that any country's currency reserves resulting from a good balance of payments and without a budget deficit should be kept abroad either in dollars or in gold well it would
2:36 pm
be ridiculous to buy gold the price of which tended to swing all the way from eight hundred dollars to four hundred dollars an ounce in one year the us never maintained gold prices even though it used to be thirty five dollars an ounce and in nineteen seventy one president nixon raises the seventy dollars an ounce went to gold collected all dollars throughout france and sent them to the us the asking to exchange them for gold the gold content of the dollar was devalued what everyone keeps quiet about that they began living on credit the good could only keep your currency either in gold or in a currency that was used in ninety percent of world. at the time and so did our country even though now we kept it in dollars euros and even in a small part of swiss francs or something of that kind since two thousand and two the us to some extent lives in debt to the entire world and that isn't right he. says shall the u.s. manage to avoid a technical default but what was the threat to the whole world if u.s. did little thought it wouldn't have been able to repay treasury bonds it issued
2:37 pm
according to the limits set by congress to the ministry of finance or to the u.s. government would quarter be u.s. president the government head so they wouldn't be able to replace them with new bonds in time you know what happens within the country if they reach a compromise to cut their expenses. he says no explicit connection to the situation within their country on the other hand the dollar exchange rate and including cash immediately drops on the world markets and the exchange rate for securities traded around the world drops as well in spite of the fact they are issued by u.s. companies so they incur bookkeeping losses at the very least and perhaps even real financial losses to a large extent the debt was formed under the bush presidency the war in iraq and their role in the afghanistan conflict acquired a huge military expenses and in effect the whole world including our country has been funding those military costs their budget deficit out of their balance of
2:38 pm
payments deficit there's a great if that's if we talk about expenses the prove to us military budget for b.c. or alone is about seven hundred billion dollars and frankly speaking there are no reasons to believe that these military expenses will be reduced do you believe this could be possible. i believe that globalization which has been happening for a while now and which hasn't been doing much to developing or third world countries will result in some kind of collapse. so since nine hundred forty the us has raised in. that limits ninety times it's become standard procedure but now the situation has progressed to the point of shaking the world's markets and the world was right and with a known economic territory how did that happen. to a large extent in the one nine hundred sixty s. or seventy's ninety percent of international settlements were in dollars that was between countries that weren't even connected with the u.s.
2:39 pm
there eurozone was established to start giving up national currencies even though some european countries like denmark didn't join nonetheless the dollar remains the key settlements currency and everyone needed dollars and often required dollars rather than any other currency therefore the dollar became the worldwide currency for the world wide spread also calls for worldwide responsibility and the us authorities didn't show enough of that responsibility and i mean a number of economists called the actions of the u.s. financially irresponsible do you agree or is it rather a kind of game for the sake of their own interests. from the viewpoint of economic theory there is a certain irresponsibility larouche a famous american economist or perhaps french canadian origin about a train years ago said that the u.s. economy considering its domestic and foreign economic policy is bound to face a crash like the roman empire which was ratings full economic players central banks will obviously change the structure of their reserves kemas dumping of the u.s.
2:40 pm
treasury happen and what implications can we expect. there what else is there for the chinese colleagues in spite of their trade surplus with the u.s. and their own willingness to revalue their currency to still keep most of their phones in dollars even though they use them actively to penetrate the development of african and asian economies to develop their infrastructure and so on. there's nowhere to go the world is a stablished in a uni polar way you can't just get out of a marriage especially when you have kids. thank you very much.
