The key pillars of U.S. economic hegemony are SWIFT, CHIPS, and the dollar. Weaponizing any one of them against the banking system of Russia, the 11th largest economy, will convince China that it needs an alternative to the trifecta to escape the ambit of American power.

In 2010, gold represented only 7.4% of Russia’s official reserves. By the end of the 2010s, this share had grown to 23.4%.

Global investors with at least $150bn in Russian securities on their books are rushing to find ways to execute trades after western sanctions froze the country out of the global financial system.

Foreign investors held $20bn of Russia’s dollar debt and rouble-denominated sovereign bonds worth $41bn at the end of 2021, according to data from the Russian central bank. Holdings of Russian equities amounted to $86bn, Moscow Exchange data show.
