The Digital Euro Goes Live: Europe's Central Bank Currency Reaches 180 Million Users in Its First Year

The European Central Bank's digital euro, launched in March 2024, has been adopted by 180 million European citizens in its first twelve months — a penetration rate that exceeded the ECB's most optimistic projections and is already reshaping the continent's retail payments landscape.

New Zealand Becomes First Common Law Country to Criminalise Ecocide

Canada Just Announced Its First "Sovereign Wealth Fund." Economists Say It's Neither Sovereign, Nor Wealth, Nor a Fund.

Mark Carney unveiled the $25-billion Canada Strong Fund in April, comparing it to Norway's $2.7-trillion oil savings giant. The comparison doesn't hold up: Norway's fund is built on surplus revenues and forbidden from investing at home. Canada's is built on borrowed money and investing exclusively at home. The branding is doing a lot of work.

Germany Cut Energy Prices in 2026. Not Everyone Is Feeling It.

The Merz government rolled out one of the biggest energy relief packages in German postwar history — €10 billion a year in subsidies, cheaper electricity, a scrapped gas levy. Average households stand to save €160 annually. The catch: a lot of them are not saving anything yet. And the economy minister used to run an energy company.

Brazil Has the World's Second-Largest Rare Earth Reserves. It Still Can't Process Them.

Brazil sits on 21 million tonnes of rare earth elements — the metals behind every EV motor, wind turbine, and smartphone — second only to China. A $2.8 billion acquisition just put its only operating mine in American hands. But the science needed to turn raw ore into a finished magnet is still missing, and that gap is exactly what Brazilian researchers are racing to close.

The Sixty-Day Test: Inside the Fragile US-Iran Post-War Settlement

With the remote signing of the landmark Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding on June 17, 2026, US President Donald Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian have paused a devastating five-week war that shook the global energy market. The interim deal ends active military operations and promises a phased reopening of the blocked Strait of Hormuz. But as negotiators sit down for indirect talks in Doha, the 60-day technical window faces deep-seated obstacles over uranium stock limits and who holds the keys to the world's most critical oil chokepoint.

რუსთაველის 580 დღე: როგორ ანაცვლებს ავტორიტარული რეპრესია ევროპულ ოცნებას თბილისში

თბილისში, რუსთაველის გამზირზე, ევროკავშირის მომხრე აქციები 580-ე დღეს ითვლის. 2024 წლის ბოლოდან დაწყებული ეს უწყვეტი წინააღმდეგობა აღარ არის მხოლოდ პროტესტი — ეს არის ბრძოლა გადარჩენისთვის. მაშინ, როდესაც „ქართული ოცნება“ ქვეყანას რუსული ტიპის ავტორიტარიზმისკენ მიათრევს, Amnesty International-ის უახლესი ანგარიში აშიშვლებს რეპრესიულ სისტემას, რომელიც სახის ამომცნობი კამერებით, მიზანმიმართული ჯარიმებითა და სპეცრაზმის ხელკეტებით ცდილობს ხალხის გაჩუმებას.
