Is the global financial landscape shifting? Recent data suggests a significant move by Japan, potentially influenced by the growing power of BRICS.

As many predicted, the next phase of the global financial collapse currently in motion is striking Japan as banking giant Norinchukin, best known as Japan’s “CLO whale,” faces mounting challenges.

The implications of this action are far-reaching and warrant close observation by investors and economists worldwide.
