In the late 1980s many African governments began dismantling state-owned commodity boards under an International Monetary Fund restructuring plan that demanded deregulation.
Don't expect sudden cash windfalls (from high commodity prices, for instance) to last, plan your spending cuts strategically, cut back on low priorities, but do not slash across the board.
By restricting government support to a single identical plan, it forces insurance companies offering the Basic Plan to compete to sell a uniform commodity, which will make competition really thrive.
The new plan would be ostensibly printing of greenbacks by the Fed and would be raw-commodity market bullish, including bullish for gold and silver markets.
