Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 13:20:20 Dutch pension fund ABP - which manages €544 billion as of December 2024 - is ditching Tesla, Facebook, and Google. Why? You know why. Again, Americans have no idea what's begun here. The Netherlands alone is one of the largest investors in the US, and as public sentiment here against president Musk and figurehead Trump deteriorates even further, those investments will shrink. The long-term effects will be crippling. |

Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 13:26:11 Americans do not realise that the world economy entails more than iPhones and cars - much of it consists of money. Lots and lots of money. And guess what the EU (and the rest of Europe) has a lot of? Imagine the shockwaves once the Norwegian pension fund starts to treat the US as the pariah that it is. That's the largest wealth fund in the world, over $1.7 trillion, owning 1.5% of all publicly listed shares in the world (!). Americans have no idea what's about to hit them. |

Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 15:20:25 @thomholwerda If the rest of the world which follows the Basel regime for banking capital, treats the US in line with it's rules, once they pull out, US banks will not be able to borrow at vaguely normal interest rates on the interntational markets. The mechanism is to downgrade 'non-equivalent' regimes such that a lot more capital has to be held against loans to their banks. That just equates directly to higher cost (ie interest rates). The question is whether that will be enforced. |
