World Bank Vice President Martin Raiser believes that Pakistan has the potential to become a $1 trillion economy by 2035, provided it maintains an annual growth rate of 7%.
In an exclusive interview on The Review talk show, Raiser highlighted that while long-term projections are challenging, Pakistan’s homegrown economic revival plan could pave the way for such remarkable growth.
He emphasized that achieving this goal is "absolutely feasible," but stressed the importance of key reforms to make it a reality. Additionally, Raiser confirmed that the World Bank has committed to providing $20 billion to Pakistan over the next decade.
He also discussed efforts to engage across Pakistan's political spectrum and emphasized the need for the country to focus on internal reforms and attract investment.

El Salvador Adjusts Bitcoin Policy in $1.4 Billion IMF Deal
El Salvador will make Bitcoin acceptance by merchants voluntary, reduce its involvement in the Chivo wallet, and limit public sector $BTC related activities as part of a $1.4 billion loan agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
The IMF announced on Dec. 18 that El Salvador would receive $1.4 billion over 40 months to lower its debt-to-GDP ratio.
“The potential risks of the Bitcoin project will be diminished significantly in line with Fund policies.
Legal reforms will make acceptance of $BTC by the private sector voluntary,” the IMF stated.
“For the public sector, engagement in Bitcoin-related economic activities and transactions in and purchases of Bitcoin will be confined.”
Additionally, taxes will continue to be paid in U.S. dollars — El Salvador’s official currency — and government involvement in the Chivo wallet will be gradually phased out.
El Salvador began purchasing Bitcoin in 2021 and currently holds 5,968.8 Bitcoin, valued at approximately $602 million, according to the National Bitcoin Office.
A spokesperson from the office told Cointelegraph that the country will continue its Bitcoin accumulation strategy.
“We will keep buying one $BTC a day (likely even more in the future), and we will not sell any of our current holdings,” the spokesperson stated.
“The plans for the Bitcoin Office remain the same as Bitcoin continues to be our main strategy.”
The agreement, still pending approval from the IMF Executive Board, concludes four years of negotiations following President Nayib Bukele’s adoption of Bitcoin as legal tender in September 2021, making El Salvador the first country to do so.
The IMF has consistently urged Bukele to abandon Bitcoin, citing its speculative nature as a potential risk to the country.
The deal will also unlock additional loans, including from the World Bank, for a total financing package exceeding $3.5 billion.
Reacting to the announcement, Bukele’s Bitcoin adviser Max Keiser dismissed the IMF’s stance, stating on X, “Nobody pays attention to these assh****,” and labeled the agreement “bureaucratic, meaningless nonsense.”
Keiser added, “Bitcoin use in El Salvador was always voluntary, and its usage has never been higher and continues to grow.”
However, a recent survey revealed that 92% of Salvadorans do not use Bitcoin for transactions, up from 88% in 2023.

🧱 World Bank Pilots Blockchain Bonds for Developing Nations
In February 2025, the World Bank announced a pilot program to issue blockchain-based bonds aimed at financing infrastructure projects in developing countries.
💸 These digital bonds — issued on a permissioned Ethereum-compatible chain — aim to increase transparency, reduce issuance costs, and enable real-time auditing of where every dollar goes.
🌍 The first pilot project took place in Kenya, where the bond helped fund a clean energy project. Investors from around the world could participate using stablecoins like USDC and EURC.
📊 With traditional bonds often slow, expensive, and opaque, this initiative could represent a new era of global finance powered by Web3.
🏦 Experts say it may eventually disrupt the way international aid and development funding are managed — making corruption harder and accountability easier.

China Just Flipped the Script on the U.S. — Crypto Felt It First! 🇨🇳💥
China made its move today, and the timing was perfect.
📊 September numbers came in strong: exports surged +8.3%, imports up +7.4% — no sign of slowing down despite U.S. tariff threats.
But the real leverage? Rare earth exports fell 31% under stricter controls. Beijing didn’t make a scene — it struck where it hurts: global supply chains. ⚙️
Markets reacted fast:
🇨🇳 CSI300 -1.8%, Shanghai -1.3%, Hang Seng -3%.
Only rare earth and chip stocks stayed green — everyone knew the pressure points.
💥 Crypto led the drama:
$BTC dropped 8%, hitting $104K, and $19B in leveraged positions got liquidated — a sharp but classic shakeout.
Then the tone changed.
Trump tweeted that things with China were “settled.” Beijing followed with calm words — exports aren’t stopping, they’re just being licensed.
The flip was instant:
💵 Dollar pulled back
🥇 Gold hit a new record
₿ Bitcoin rebounded to $114.8K
This wasn’t just market noise — it was pressure, reaction, and reversal all in real time.
China proved it can absorb shocks and push back. The U.S. went from threat to damage control in 24 hours.
Once again, crypto was the first to react — Wall Street just caught up. 🔥

The World Bank President's "Hole" Budget! (2007) 😂
World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz may be a man who manages loans worth billions of dollars, but when it comes to the sock budget, the situation is not so bright!
During a visit to Turkey in 2007, Wolfowitz visited a mosque in Edirne and when he took off his shoes, the truth was revealed: both heels of his socks had holes in them and his toes were peeking out in shame! But instead of trying to salvage the situation, he shrugged it off, saying nonchalantly, "I guess I'm not a typical banker."
The Washington Post seized the opportunity: "Would you take financial advice from a man who couldn't think of a new pair of socks for $3?" it mocked. The Internet was abuzz, with bloggers and commentators comparing these socks with holes to Wolfowitz's Iraq strategy, saying, "It turns out that it was not only his policies but also his socks that had holes in them."
This "hole" memory of Wolfowitz, who managed billions in economic management but could not allocate a budget for his socks, was not forgotten for years!

US Treasury Secretary Bessent urges the World Bank to end support for China Elaborate
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has called on the World Bank and other global financial institutions to stop providing financial support to China. He argued that China, as the world’s second-largest economy, no longer qualifies as a developing country and should therefore not receive concessional loans. According to Bessent, continuing to fund China takes resources away from poorer countries that genuinely need development assistance.
He also criticized the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund for moving away from their original goals of maintaining global financial stability, saying they have become too focused on social and political issues. Bessent urged for stricter lending rules, more transparency, and reforms to ensure that loans are not given to countries with unfair trade practices or opaque economic systems.
His remarks reflect a broader US effort to rebalance its economic relationship with China and limit Beijing’s influence in international institutions. If adopted, this approach could restrict China’s access to multilateral funding and change how global aid is distributed, though it would likely trigger political resistance and debate among member nations.

Who's Losing (and Gaining) in the Global Trade Game?
Ever wonder who's buying more than they're selling on the world stage? The World Bank just dropped the numbers, and the net trade balances are painting a fascinating picture of economic ebb and flow. Here's a look at some of the biggest deficit holders in US dollars:
The Big Spenders (aka, the Largest Net Importers):
🇺🇸 USA: -$1.1 Trillion! America continues its trend of importing far more than it exports, leading the pack by a massive margin. What does this mean for the everyday American?🇮🇳 India: -$245.58 Billion. A rapidly growing economy with a huge consumer base, India's appetite for foreign goods is clear.🇬🇧 UK: -$233.18 Billion. Brexit or not, the UK is clearly a net importer on the global stage.🇹🇷 Turkey: -$86.38 Billion. Facing economic headwinds, Turkey's trade deficit remains significant.🇫🇷 France: -$82.38 Billion. Another major European economy showing a substantial deficit.🇵🇭 Philippines: -$65.98 Billion. This Southeast Asian nation is also bringing in more than it's sending out.🇯🇵 Japan: -$47.9 Billion. Known for its exports, Japan's balance still shows a deficit in this snapshot.🇪🇸 Spain: -$37.58 Billion. Southern Europe's economic powerhouse also makes the list of net importers.🇬🇷 Greece: -$35.78 Billion. Still navigating its economic recovery, Greece's deficit is notable.🇷🇴 Romania: -$31.38 Billion. An Eastern European economy with a growing need for imports.
What does this all mean? A trade deficit isn't necessarily a bad thing – it can indicate strong consumer demand or investment in a growing economy. However, persistently large deficits can also raise questions about national debt, currency stability, and industrial competitiveness.
The big takeaway: While some nations are piling up surpluses, these countries are actively drawing in goods and services from around the globe, shaping global supply chains and economic relationships. It's a testament to the interconnectedness of our modern world!

Impact Analysis #Kebijakan #Perdagangan #DonaldTrump and Reactions from the Business Community
1. Trump’s Trade War Policy: Goals and Reality
Donald Trump implemented protectionist policies during his presidency (2017–2021), including:
- High Import Tariffs, especially against China (for example, a 25% tariff on $250 billion of Chinese goods).
- Reevaluation of Free Trade, such as renegotiating NAFTA into USMCA and withdrawing the US from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).
- Political Pressure through Tariffs, such as threats of tariffs against the European Union and Mexico to force policy changes.
Trump's main goals:
- Reduce the US trade deficit.
- Bring manufacturing back to the US (“America First”).
- Pressure China on unfair trade practices (IP theft, industrial subsidies).
Real outcomes:
- The US-China trade deficit remains high, even swelling before the pandemic.
- Costs borne by US companies, particularly those reliant on imported raw materials from China (for example, the electronics and agriculture sectors).
- Retaliation from China through counter-tariffs, hurting US exporters such as soybean farmers and liquor producers.
2. Why Are Business Leaders Losing Trust?
Bill Ackman is not the only one worried. Many CEOs and investors are concerned because:
- Regulatory Uncertainty: The trade war makes long-term business planning difficult.
- Rising Operating Costs: Companies like Walmart and Tesla complain about rising raw material prices due to tariffs.
- Supply Chain Disruptions: The manufacturing industry (for example, automotive) faces production delays.
- Threat of Global Recession: #IMF and #WorldBank warn of the trade war's impact on economic growth.
Examples of criticism from the business community:
- Tim Cook (Apple): Privately urged Trump to avoid escalation with China.
- Elon Musk (Tesla): Called tariffs "innovation stiflers" as they disrupt battery supply.
1. Trump’s Trade War Policy: Goals and Reality
Donald Trump implemented protectionist policies during his presidency (2017–2021), including:
- High Import Tariffs, especially against China (for example, a 25% tariff on $250 billion of Chinese goods).
- Reevaluation of Free Trade, such as renegotiating NAFTA into USMCA and withdrawing the US from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).
- Political Pressure through Tariffs, such as threats of tariffs against the European Union and Mexico to force policy changes.
Trump's main goals:
- Reduce the US trade deficit.
- Bring manufacturing back to the US (“America First”).
- Pressure China on unfair trade practices (IP theft, industrial subsidies).
Real outcomes:
- The US-China trade deficit remains high, even swelling before the pandemic.
- Costs borne by US companies, particularly those reliant on imported raw materials from China (for example, the electronics and agriculture sectors).
- Retaliation from China through counter-tariffs, hurting US exporters such as soybean farmers and liquor producers.

US Treasury Secretary Urges World Bank to Halt Funding for China
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has urged the World Bank and other global lenders to stop offering financial aid to China, arguing that the world’s second-largest economy no longer qualifies as a developing nation. He said continued funding diverts resources from poorer countries that genuinely need support.
Bessent also criticized the World Bank and IMF for straying from their original focus on financial stability, calling for stricter lending rules, greater transparency, and reforms to prevent loans to countries with unfair trade practices or opaque economies.
His comments reflect a broader US strategy to curb China’s influence in global financial institutions — a move that could reshape international aid distribution and spark political pushback among member states.
