Uganda | Regime Freezes Bank Accounts of Major NGOs

The Museveni regime has frozen the bank accounts of several leading human rights organizations, escalating the financial repression of civil society. Uganda’s Financial Intelligence Authority, responsible for monitoring money laundering, froze both institutional and personal accounts to investigate funding received from abroad. Organizations impacted include Chapter Four Uganda, the African Institute for Investigative Journalism, and the Agora Centre for Research, which was co-founded by 2023 Oslo Freedom Forum speaker Agather Atuhaire.

Asia | States Ration Energy as Fuel Prices Surge

As the Strait of Hormuz remains closed to shipping amid conflict between Iran, Israel, and the United States, governments across Asia are rushing to reduce energy use as fuel prices climb and supply issues strain economies reliant on Middle Eastern oil. Bangladesh has limited the supply of fuel and closed universities to save electricity. Pakistan shut schools and shifted services online, while the Philippines adopted a four-day workweek for some government offices. Vietnam and Thailand are promoting remote work, and South Korea has set a fuel price cap for the first time in nearly three decades. As we saw after the outbreak of COVID, authoritarian regimes often exploit macroeconomic crises to expand and cement their control. https://FinancialFreedomReport.org

Turkish officials have stepped up their enforcement of unregistered foreign currency exchanges in major cities and tourist areas. Since 2018, officials have suspended the operations of 859 unlicensed businesses.

Gabon | Government Suspends Social Media Access Nationwide

Last week, officials in Gabon suspended access to social media platforms indefinitely. To justify the suspension, the country’s telecommunications agency said it observed “content that undermines human dignity, the country’s institutions, and national security” on digital platforms, but independent voices condemned the action as an obvious crackdown on dissent. Users of TikTok and Meta’s platforms, including Facebook and WhatsApp, reported widespread disruptions beginning Wednesday, Feb. 18, which have widely disrupted people’s ability to communicate. Freedom tech like Bitchat, which provides offline messaging capabilities, and Nostr, a protocol for decentralized, censorship-resistant communication, will continue to play important roles in preserving speech, expression, and communication as authoritarian regimes increasingly restrict internet freedom.

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’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.

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.

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

- Saudi Arabia | Crown Prince Orders Rent Freeze in Riyadh

In Saudi Arabia, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has ordered a five-year freeze on residential and commercial rents in the capital of Riyadh. This follows a sharp rise in rent prices in recent years, a trend that the policy aims to curb. Violations face steep financial punishments. Property owners who violate the freeze risk fines of up to a year’s rent plus compensation for tenants. And whistleblowers can earn 20% of any fines collected. While billed as relief, rent freezes are a form of price control that can often yield adverse effects. Property owners may reduce upkeep, shift investments away from housing, or demand informal payments to compensate for the loss of income. This can create shortages and deteriorating conditions, making it disproportionately harder for new or lower-income residents to find affordable housing amid the backdrop of authoritarian rule and immense digital repression.

- Thailand | Freezes Accounts and Imposes Transfer Limits

In an effort to reduce online financial scams, the Bank of Thailand froze more than 3 million bank accounts. It also set strict daily transfer limits for citizens, ranging from 50,000 to 200,000 baht ($1,500 to $6,000). This comes after suffering nearly 6 billion baht ($189 million) in damages from online scams in recent months. The freeze has left many online creators, small businesses, and foreign residents unable to access funds or process payments. The heavy-handed approach caused panic withdrawals and confusion. It offers a glimpse into how broad state measures against fraud can unintentionally lead to financial repression, cutting Thais off from their own money. FinancialFreedomReport.org

- Bolivia | Banks Limit Withdrawals as Digital Asset Usage and Inflation Climb

In Bolivia, where annual inflation has reached 25% and banks have been limiting withdrawal of US dollars to $100 a week, Bloomberg reports that Bolivians are turning to Bitcoin and digital assets as alternatives to the boliviano. “I’m not the only one using Bitcoin,” Christopher Salas, a coffee vendor in La Paz, said. “There’s a barbershop over there and a gym that also accepts satoshis.” For Salas, Bitcoin is both a hedge and a protest: “a way to preserve the value of my savings, but also a way to go against the system, against bureaucracy.” Bolivia’s hybrid authoritarian regime lifted a decade-long ban on digital assets in 2024. Since then, the volume of digital asset payments has grown more than fivefold to nearly $300 million in the first half of 2025. The University of San Andres allegedly pays its international faculty in Bitcoin. Carlos Neira, co-founder of Colombian wallet provider Meru, reports a staggering 6,600% increase in Bolivian users since the ban was lifted. FinancialFreedomReport.org

- Burma | Invasive Cybersecurity Law Comes into Full Effect

In January, this newsletter reported on a repressive cybersecurity law enacted by the military junta in Burma that empowers officials with sweeping controls over digital spaces. Last week, that law came into full effect. It criminalizes the use of VPNs, mandates that platforms store and hand over user data to officials upon request, and allows authorities to shut down Internet access at will. It also empowers regime-aligned law enforcement with the absolute authority to check citizens’ phones on the street. Penalties include up to six months in prison for sharing posts deemed “misinformation” or for using encrypted apps (like VPNs) to access information. Reports have already surfaced of police extorting bribes from people at checkpoints for having VPNs or “illegal social media” like X, Facebook, or YouTube on their phones. The law poses immediate threats to journalists and activists critical of the military regime or using privacy tools. Amid the junta’s effort to stage a sham election to expand militarized control, this deepens Burma’s retreat from civic freedoms and shrinks the already fragile space for independent voices and the free flow of information.
