  22. Not so easy to do as it kickback's , as many E.U. banks have money on Russian banks because of trade , also they gave loans etc. so also they would not see their money back .... Germany in first line to suffer on that .... For USA different matter as lesser trade with Russia ???????? if read the whole article you would see the dilemma ???? https://www.standaard.be/cnt/dmf20220223_98106464 SANCTIONS Why Europe is not yet deploying a 'financial nuclear bomb' If it depends on the United States, Russia will be excluded from the international payment system Swift. It has its headquarters in Belgium. But experts warn that Europe will mainly be shooting itself in the foot. Nico Tanghe Thursday 24 February 2022 at 3.25 am Many European banks have billions of euros outstanding in Russia. Most of that they won't see again if Russia gets kicked out of Swift That this strategy works is shown by the example of Iran, which was banned from the Swift system twice (in 2012 and in 2018) because of its nuclear program, under pressure from the US. With the push of a button, a large part of the international payment traffic to the banks of the country concerned is paralyzed. And that had serious consequences. Because no one was sure he would get his money, Iran lost half of its revenue from oil exports and 30 percent of its foreign trade, according to a recent report by think tank Breugel. So why not use the same financial weapon against Putin? Financial instability But with this Europe risks shooting itself in the foot economically and financially, Germany leading the way. Not only will the import of oil, gas and other Russian products to Europe be largely stopped due to lack of payments. Numerous European banks also jointly have many tens of billions of euros in loans outstanding in Russia. They won't see most of that borrowed money again if Russia is kicked out of the Swift system. This could lead to global financial instability, warned Klaas Knot, chairman of the financial watchdog FSB (Financial Stability Board), recently in The Financial Times. Banks that are very active in Russia, such as the French Société Générale, the Italian Unicredit or the Austrian Raiffeisen, risk having to write off many billions in loans on their books, just as many European banks in the full euro crisis had to do with their loans that became worthless. to Greece. If one of those banks gets into trouble, it could set off a dangerous chain reaction. The Swift sanction then threatens to return like a boomerang in the face of Europe. Yet another danger No wonder Heinrich Steinhauer, a banker at Germany's Helaba in Moscow, has previously described Russia's exclusion from Swift as "a kind of atomic bomb." A financial atomic bomb indeed, which, according to the banker, would hit both the European Union and Russia hard. America would be much less hit, because economic ties between Washington and Moscow are limited. But there is another danger. Excluding Moscow from the Swift system could in the slightly longer term lead to the building of a parallel financial transaction system, warned Jan Pieter Krahnen, a financial expert at Goethe University in Frankfurt and advisor to the German Ministry of Finance via the Reuters news agency. Russia has even started doing this regionally since the Ukraine crisis began in 2014. A further expansion and even a link with Chinese payment systems are not excluded in the long term. And that, according to Krahnen, would not only undermine the trustworthiness of Swift itself, it could even facilitate later military conflicts. And that only because a number of opportunity costs of war would then gradually disappear for some countries. Delay, no adjustment In short, for now the European enthusiasm to expel Russia from Swift is not very great. That makes it especially difficult for the Americans. Swift is a cooperative company, located near Brussels and therefore under Belgian and European jurisdiction. Washington does have a lot of influence in practice, but legally Joe Biden cannot make the decision to exclude Russia himself. Washington will first have to maneuver carefully politically and diplomatically to find sufficient support for this. For the time being, the exclusion of Russia is therefore not yet on the table, not even for the White House, Reuters reported recently. But delay does not necessarily mean adjustment. Whether the US will eventually find enough allies within Swift ultimately depends mainly on Putin himself. The more ambitious and bloody the Russian invasion of Ukraine becomes, the greater the chance that the financial atomic bomb will be uncovered in La Hulpe, Belgium. How does Swift work? When bank A transfers a sum of money to bank B, all associated information is electronically encrypted and forwarded via Swift. In this way, the transaction is not only secured, the system also immediately checks whether the transaction details are the same for both parties and then confirms the transaction.
