Goldilocks’ Comments and Global Economic News Wednesday Evening 12-6-23

Good Evening,

Societe Generale announced Monday that it issued its first green bond on the Ethereum blockchain.

The transaction — which took place in late November — amounts to 10 million euros, or roughly $10.8 million, and has a maturity of three years. The tokenized bonds, France’s third largest bank wrote, will ensure “increased transparency and traceability as well as improved fluidity and speed in transactions and settlements.”

According to a press release (https://www.societegenerale.com/en/news/press-release/first-inaugural-digital-green-bond-public-blockchain), SocGen aims to enable more transparency on ESG by using the blockchain as a “data repository and certification tool for issuers and investors.”

The smart contract of the bond includes carbon footprint information, and is available for anyone to access.

Societe Generale-FORGE, the bank’s crypto team, released a report focused on the lifecycle of security tokens back in November.

“A total of 10 financial sectors in the U.S. will be affected if BRICS uses local currencies and not the U.S. dollar. The sectors include banking, trade, forex, and tourism, among others.

Global Financial System
Banking and Finance
Energy and Commodity Markets
International Trade and Investment
Capital Markets
Consumer Goods and Retail
Production and Consumption
Technology and Fintech
Government and Policy
Travel and Tourism

All the 10 sectors are closely linked to the U.S. economy and could have complications if the dollar loses demand. The banking sector could take the first hit that might eventually spill over to the markets.

Once the financial markets are hit, the domino effect could roll over to all sectors leading to a financial catastrophe. In conclusion, if the U.S. fails to fund its deficit, prices of all commodities could skyrocket or even reach hyperinflation.”

“(Bloomberg) — US Bank is issuing $2.5 billion of credit-linked notes tied to a pool of auto loans.

It’s the first time US Bank has sold this type of securitization, according to a preliminary ratings report by Moody’s Investors Service. The notes effectively allow the issuer to transfer credit risk tied to the underlying loans over to investors.

Credit-linked notes have grown in popularity recently as new capital rules set to be imposed as part of forthcoming Basel III regulations prompt banks to look for ways to optimize their balance sheets. As part of the deal, US Bank, which finances vehicle purchases across the country through a network of dealerships, is transferring the credit risk on a pool of more than 97,000 auto loans while still keeping them on its balance sheet. The debut deal is selling approximately $289 million of bonds to investors.”

ETFs or “exchange-traded funds” are exactly as the name implies: funds that trade on exchanges, generally tracking a specific index. When you invest in an ETF, you get a bundle of assets you can buy and sell during market hours—potentially lowering your risk and exposure, while helping to diversify your portfolio.
