The BRICS & The Future of The Global Order

The past decade has seen the growth of cooperation between the BRICS countries and for the group to grow into an influential international mechanism that has helped bring about changes to ways in which global economic governance works. While setbacks in globalization and internal frictions among member countries might dominate this occasion, many still expect the upcoming BRICS Summit in Xiamen to provide a pragmatic framework for the five members to overcome challenges in their economies, societies and politics.

After what has been described as a tough round one in DC, the process of renegotiating NAFTA is set to move to Mexico for round two. Beyond the negotiating table, President Trump continues to suggest that he may choose to withdraw from the agreement all together. We asked Mexico Institute Director Duncan Wood to summarize the state of the negotiations and provide analysis on what we can expect next. That’s the focus of this edition of Wilson Center NOW.

Guest
Duncan Wood, Director of the Wilson Center’s Mexico Institute, is a “North American citizen,” lecturing and publishing widely in the United States, Mexico and Canada on intracontinental issues and relations, with a primary focus on U.S.-Mexican ties. A widely-quoted authority on energy policy, international banking regulation and corruption, he works closely with the World Economic Forum and leverages decades of experience at Mexico’s leading universities and newspapers.

Host
John Milewski is the executive producer and managing editor of Wilson Center NOW and also serves as director of Wilson Center ON DEMAND digital programming. Previously he served as host and producer of Dialogue at the Wilson Center and Close Up on C-SPAN. He also teaches a course on politics and media for Penn State’s Washington Program.

Hey! Pssst > Pension Fund Problems Worsen in 43 States

Pension Fund Problems Worsen in 43 States
By Laurie MeislerLaurie Meisler

Published: June 30, 2017 | Updated: August 29, 2017

The news continues to worsen for America’s public pensions and for the people who depend on them. The median funding ratio—the percentage of assets states have available for future payments to retirees—declined to 71.1 percent in 2016, from 74.5 percent in 2015 and 75.6 percent in 2014. Only six states and the District of Columbia have narrowed their funding gaps; New York did best, going from 90.6 percent to 94.5 percent. D.C. is now overfunded.

Bloomberg ranked the states by the size of their funding gap. The lower the funding ratio, the more money the state has to come up with to meet its pension obligations.

Arizona Funding Ratio = 60.4

Notes: *Figures are for 2017 because New York has a March fiscal year; **Figures for these states are based on GASB Statement No. 25 and have not been ranked.

Source: Bloomberg, Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports

Methodology: Bloomberg ranked U.S. states based on their pension funding ratios in 2016 (unless otherwise noted) under the Government Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 67. The funding ratio, which is calculated by dividing each state's aggregated fiduciary net position by its aggregated total pension liability, provides an indication of the financial resources available to meet current and future pension obligations. To assemble these figures, the Bloomberg municipal fundamentals team collected and supplemented data from each state's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, a set of government financial statements. Where specific data were missing in the consolidated reported totals, the pension funds were contacted directly. Data are for individual states' respective fiscal year-ends as of the date of publication of the CAFR. Fiscal year-end of supplemental pension reports may differ from the state's CAFR. In 2012, GASB released Statement No. 67, which affects financial reporting for pension plans. Implementation of GASB 67 is contingent upon the pension plan type, and figures are not available for five states. They use FASB 25, the previous standard. Calculated medians exclude those five states.

Decline of Britain since 1973
EEC & EU as 'soft-fascist' German cartel
Tony Gosling, Pippa Jones
Talk Radio Europe - 26Feb16
No single market
We are meant to be operating under the bloc's Single Market mechanism as an EU member.
The EU describes it as "one territory without any internal borders or other regulatory obstacles to the free movement of goods and services." It's basically meant to stimulate competition and trade, improve efficiency, and helps cut prices.
We are meant to operate as one. Basically, it only works if all countries are identical and work as a hive, like the Borg in Star Trek. That sounds like a Utopian ideal, and it has not worked at all.
At the beginning of September, my colleague Oscar Williams-Grut pointed out that the so-called Single Market has a massive problem – Germany.
German manufacturing is a booming behemoth, while almost every other nation bar Greece is at some sort of low. Britain's manufacturing sector is not he same as it was back in 1950s, and we now depend a lot on imports and exports (I will come to this later).
Greece's rebalancing towards exports has been achieved simply by imports collapsing. All you need to do is take one look at that country and realise there is nothing about that nation that is rebounding at the moment.

At the mercy of Germany
Concerns over the Single Market being a whole load of poppycock are more relevant than ever, especially since the eurozone debt crisis of 2009.
First and foremost, even though we are meant to be part of one big unit, we have no fiscal union to address underperforming areas.
In Britain, for example, London may generate greater amounts of wealth than certain regions in the country. If somewhere like Nottingham was struggling, the money is redistributed to pay for welfare or prop up the local economy. Infrastructure, like new railway lines, could be installed to link cities and create greater connection for people working or looking to expand business.
In the EU, we don't have this. Just look at Greece and the sorry mess it is. Sure, we lend money and force them to gut their country from the inside out, but a loan is not a re-distribution of wealth. Countries that need to devalue their currency to spur exports can't. The bloc is not a "single" anything.

Destroying national sovereignty
Relinquishing national sovereignty sounds a lot like right-wing hooey, but having a look at how the EU has operated in the worst of times hasn't resolved any of these concerns.
Sovereignty is meant to be when a state has the absolute power to govern itself, make, execute, and apply laws, and impose and collect taxes.
Of course, being part of a union means we should all technically share that burden and have a say in what laws are enacted, while also making sure others aren't penalised to the advantage of other nations. It shouldn't be all bad.
Take a look at Greece again. The country has teetered on the brink of collapse so many times, it might as well jump off the cliff. But it can't because it's stuck with loans it doesn't want, that seem near impossible for it to pay back.
The one time it did show some semblance of sovereignty or power was at its referendum on the bailout. The public voted against the extremely harsh (and arguably necessary) conditions in exchange for emergency cash. And we all know how that turned out – an utterly pointless exercise.
All that happened is that Greece wound up owing its creditors so much that they used it against them in their next round of negotiations.

Renegotiations look impossible
The UK doesn't really have much of a say in what happens within the bloc.
Since 2010, the EU has introduced over 3,500 new laws affecting British businesses. "The British Chambers of Commerce has shown that the total cost of EU regulation is £7.6 billion per year,"
