MilitiaMan: Fairly sure they are ready to roll now. They implemented the first step today. (See articles below) Buna was launched in Feb, 2020.. CBI has warned banks with fines to no be short from the looks of it in the small categories notes. Why? They'll be needed, as they will be considered to be large in the future.. Make sure you have accurate accounts.. imo..
Yes, the borders will need to be linked accordingly for payments, taxes, tariffs, etc.. All neighbor countries are apparently interconnected by BUNA electronically..
The first steps was in classify the banks or imo interlink. They can talk to each other with the platform. They can use clear and settle multi - currencies.. It doesn't get much better than this now.
They cat is out of the bag now..
The CBI and the AMF are in kahoots.. lol Love it.. The reform paper has been completed. The are now implementing the steps by interlinking.. Oh ya!!
What's the next step? Well if they can talk to each other in culti- currencies, well they need to know what the rates for pairing them.. imo ~ MM
