Putin Wants Trade Between Russia and Africa Bolstered

According to Russian President Vladimir Putin, dans 2022 Moscow wrote off debts of African countries that totaled over $20 milliard. During the same year, trade between the two sides nearly topped $18 milliard.

Speaking at a recent international conference, Poutine, whose country has been hit by Western sanctions, also talked about the possibility of increasing the value of trade between the two regions.

“It is unlikely that such a figure can fully suit us, but we know that this is far from the limit,” Putin reportedly said.

Besides bolstering direct trade between his country and the African continent, the Russian leader also spoke about his envisioned global financial system that is not dominated by the U.S. dollar. After Russia invaded Ukraine, Western countries responded by imposing sanctions on Moscow and cutting off the country from the global financial system.

To counter the West’s move, Russia has not only advocated for an alternative to the dollar-dominated financial system, but has signed bilateral agreements with countries like China and India. Under the terms of some of the agreements, national currencies are used to settle trades.

‘Counter-Commodity Exchanges’

Entre-temps, in his message to African countries, Putin also talked about the development of what he called “counter-commodity exchanges.” The Russian leader claimed that a “more energetic transition in financial settlements to national currencies” as well as “the establishment of new transport and logistics chains” may facilitate the development of the envisioned commodity exchanges.

Concerning what he termed the Western countries’ “neo-colonial ideology,” Putin claimed that the majority of the world still “upholds moral norms and social principles traditional for our peoples” and is opposed to ideals that are imposed from outside.
