• Russia to Scale Internet Filtering with AI
Roskomnadzor, Russia's internet regulator, is building an AI-powered censorship system with a 2.27 billion ruble ($29 million) budget. According to analysts, the system will use AI to instantly block mirror sites hosting banned content and, more ominously, to identify the people creating those mirrors. The move would further restrict the space for dissent and independent online information in Russia. FinancialFreedomReport.org

China | Push for Yuan as Global Reserve Currency
China has reiterated its ambition for the yuan to attain global reserve currency status. In remarks recently published by Qiushi, the Chinese Communist Party’s flagship journal used to convey policy intentions, Xi Jinping called for a “powerful currency” widely used in international trade, investment, and foreign-exchange markets. What’s new about these remarks is not their intended ambition, but rather how clearly those ambitions are stated to the public. Xi paired this plan with calls for a stronger central bank, globally competitive financial institutions, and tighter control of systemic financial risks.

- Kenya | Central Bank Warns Banknote Bouquets Could Land You in Jail
Kenya’s central bank warned Kenyans in the lead-up to Valentine’s Day that making bouquets out of colorful banknotes could be punished with a seven-year jail term. Officials argue that banknotes used in bouquets are often “folded, rolled, glued, stapled, pinned,” or otherwise damaged, which they say compromises their integrity, defaces the national currency, and increases the cost of replacing damaged notes.

- Nicaragua | Economic Control Sustains the Ortega-Murillo Regime
In an investigative series published by Confidencial, reporters identify economic control as one of the four central pillars sustaining the dictatorship of Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo. The regime increasingly relies on restrictive controls over civil society’s monetary flows to punish dissent. In 2023, the regime froze the bank accounts of institutions affiliated with the Catholic Church, which led a Nicaraguan seminary to cease operations. Since 2018, thousands of NGOs have been forced to close or had their assets seized for alleged financial violations. In Nicaragua, authoritarian financial control is a primary way to stifle civil society. FinancialFreedomReport.org

- United Arab Emirates | CBDC Rolls Out as “Free” Amid Expanding Financial Surveillance
The United Arab Emirates’ central bank announced that the first phase of its Digital Dirham central bank digital currency (CBDC) will be offered free to users and small businesses, framing the rollout as a cost-saving upgrade to payments. But “free” at launch does not mean neutral. As a direct central bank liability, the Digital Dirham gives the state full visibility into transactions and the power to impose future fees, conditions, or negative interest rates once adoption is established. The news follows the UAE’s first state-to-state CBDC transaction conducted via the multi-CBDC mBridge platform, which links the UAE with China and other authoritarian states in a shared, programmable settlement system.

- BRICS | Digital Currency Launched
The BRICS monetary bloc has launched a working prototype of a digital currency known as the “Unit,” backed by a basket of precious metals and BRICS national currencies. The first 100 Units were issued in a pilot led by Russia’s Institute for Economic Strategies. The BRICS bloc includes many authoritarian or hybrid authoritarian regimes that use capital controls, censorship, and financial surveillance to manage dissent. A state-designed, programmable digital currency rail used across multiple authoritarian states could harden those powers. FinancialFreedomReport.org

- India | NPCI Confirms CBDC is Live With Spending Controls
The National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) confirmed that India’s digital rupee CBDC is live with partner banks and is being used by the state for subsidy payments. At India Blockchain Week, an NPCI consultant shared that the digital rupee can be restricted for specific purposes, approved merchants, and particular locations. For example, recent transfers of the programmable CBDC for farmers and livestock owners limited purchases to “approved inputs” with geographic tagging enabled. The CBDC is compatible with India’s state-run payment system, known as Unified Payment Interface (UPI), enabling users to pay with the digital rupee by scanning existing UPI QR codes.

The People’s Bank of China reaffirmed its hostility toward digital assets and announced it would increase scrutiny of stablecoins. In a statement, the central bank warned of rising speculation and promised stricter enforcement against peer-to-peer stablecoin activity, expressing particular concern over customer identification requirements and anti-money-laundering controls. “Virtual currencies do not hold the same legal status as fiat currency and cannot be used as legal tender in the market,” the central bank said. It added that it will “intensify efforts to combat related illegal financial activities” to maintain financial stability.

- United Arab Emirates | First CBDC Transaction Completed
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) completed its first government-to-government transaction with its Digital Dirham central bank digital currency (CBDC). This initiative was part of the CBDC’s pilot phase and was implemented using the mBridge platform. Officials say this marks a move toward domestic rollout, with more widespread adoption planned across both public and private sectors. The UAE deploys an extensive and sophisticated surveillance tool system across public spaces and digital communications, raising concerns that placing transactions on a state-controlled CBDC ledger would further centralize visibility over everyday financial activity.
In Context: Project mBridge connects the CBDCs of China, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Hong Kong, and Thailand into a unified, programmable settlement system. Designed to give central banks real-time visibility and control over cross-border flows, the surveillance-ready platform risks exporting the financial governance model of authoritarian states.

- Thailand | New Anti-Scam Measures Implemented
The Bank of Thailand announced new measures to enhance monitoring of payments, financial institutions, and money transfer services to combat online scams and financial fraud. Governor Vitai Ratanakorn said the central bank will step up due diligence, prioritize investigations into suspicious transactions, and require immediate reporting of irregular activity from banks, currency exchanges, and gold traders. While the policy aims to disrupt transnational criminal networks engaged in online scams and human trafficking, experts fear such a development may lead to broader surveillance of digital transactions and payments, which could threaten the privacy of many Southeast Asian dissidents based in Thailand.

- Tanzania | Central Bank Denies Printing Money to Finance Elections
Public concern over Tanzania’s monetary credibility grew after online criticism alleged that the central bank was printing money to finance the October general elections. The central bank dismissed the claims as “false and dangerous” and reaffirmed that currency issuance follows legal and economic guidelines. Earlier this year, the Tanzanian shilling was the world’s worst-performing currency, fueling doubts about the government’s fiscal discipline and transparency. FinancialFreedomReport.org
