"In this episode, Nadine Wellwood interviews Jennifer Shaigec (CEO, Sandpiper Trading Corp.) to trace the money trail behind today’s biggest headlines—war, inflation, energy policy, and central banking—through the lens of capital flows. We break down de-dollarization after the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, why central banks flipped from selling to buying gold, and what it signals when foreign holders reduce exposure to U.S. Treasuries. Jennifer explains the plumbing behind a potential new system: ISO 20022, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), and the Basel III “Endgame” push, plus what IMF Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) and off-balance-sheet “trust” structures could mean for transparency and sovereignty. We also discuss UN “digital currency” initiatives, CBDCs vs stable-coins, and why this matters for Canada and Alberta.
