Executions in North Korea – Kim executes currency traders

mob-storm-capitol

Because of the corona pandemic, North Korea is largely closing the borders for goods from China. The economic crisis in the country is worsening – and the regime is taking drastic measures. North Korea is taking drastic action against the collapse of its own currency: a foreign exchange trader was executed. The “Financial Times” reports, citing the South Korean secret service. Accordingly, the regime of Kim Jong Un wants to prevent the use of foreign currencies – and apparently does not shy away from executions itself.

Pandemic thriller “Songbird” shows a terrifying corona future

Kim had tolerated private currency exchange for the past few years. But against the backdrop of the corona pandemic, the North Korean currency is crashing. According to the South Korean news site NK News, which monitors the exchange rate in various North Korean cities, it has lost around 20 percent of its value against the dollar in recent months. This crash worries the Pyongyang regime. It also threatens to weaken the already fragile economic system. Now, Kim is about to regain full control of forex trading. The execution signals how serious he is.

In 2009 the won crashed dramatically. Since then, the use of foreign currencies – the dollar and the Chinese yuan – has increased. Kim, who took over from his father in 2011, tolerated this. His regime even encouraged the private and shadow economy, which also benefited from access to foreign currency because it improved the lives of many North Koreans. The cautious opening made a significant contribution to the country’s imports and exports increasing between 2010 and 2017. But now the regime is running out of money – and it is reacting violently.

The difficulties are mainly related to the corona pandemic. The country, which was already largely isolated, had sealed itself off even further and made the borders even more impermeable at an early stage. Trade with China, by far the most important partner, almost came to a standstill. According to the Chinese customs authorities, China only exported goods worth the equivalent of $ 253,000 to North Korea in October – 99 percent less than in September. The imports from North Korea into the People’s Republic were accordingly in October by 74 percent below the level of the previous year. This collapse in trade, essential for North Korea, shows how far Kim is willing to go to prevent the virus from spreading in his country. He accepts to further reduce the already poor supply of food and petrol. And that although China apparently has the pandemic under control and North Korea – at least according to its own information – is currently not recording any infections.

The drastic measures are not only affecting forex traders: according to CNN, an example has also been made of a customs officer. He was executed for allegedly failing to adequately follow the corona rules when checking a delivery from China. North Korea’s state media announced that the precautionary measures would be tightened. These include: Even more controls at the borders, more difficult access for ships from China – the authorities are also instructed to burn any garbage that was washed up by the sea on the country’s beaches.
