Thanks for joining this community. Now on to the news. One of the most basic tools of investigative journalism — or any proper form of due diligence — is being able to look up a company’s ultimate beneficial owner (UBO). This is the person who actually owns or controls a legal entity and its underlying assets, regardless of how many other corporate layers may appear in-between. Gaining access to this information can help reporters reveal hidden or unexplained wealth, unearth evidence of crimes, and hold corrupt actors to account. This week we’re taking an in-depth look (https://www.occrp.org/en/feature/how-europes-retreat-from-corporate-transparency-is-shielding-the-corrupt?utm_source=OCCRP&utm_campaign=b2911d85a8-newsletter_2026_04_17&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_-b2911d85a8-1210636981) at how the European landscape for public access to UBO registries — the official government databases in which this information is held — has shifted in recent years.

Obstfeld: Don't blame US current account deficit on the dollar | "Economic Security Zone" in the Philippines

PIIE Insider | April 22, 2026 The latest from the Peterson Institute for International Economics ================================ Highlights this week: 1. The real reasons for US current account deficits 2. What Orban’s defeat means for Europe, lessons for Latin America 3. Trade Talks visits a US manufacturer 4. Insider Exclusive: Pax Silica in the Philippines 5. “Prices will be notably higher”—Gagnon in FT ================================ Don't blame America's current account deficit on the dollar But stablecoin imperialism won't help Maurice Obstfeld (PIIE) Some US and Chinese officials wrongly contend that the dollar's status as the world's dominant reserve currency is the main driver of America's persistently large current account deficits. This theory misconstrues how international financial markets work. KEY TAKEAWAYS: • The world outside the United States can get dollar assets by selling assets rather than goods to Americans. Moreover, the potential for offshore dollar deposit creation has nothing to do with the US current account. • The major drivers of current account imbalances include the unsustainable US federal budget outlook and China's failure to shift its economy further toward a non-deflationary, consumption-driven growth model. • Increased global demand for dollar stablecoins may not be a gamechanger for US Treasury financing, but it will lead to a m

The data points to a pattern of violence that leaves civilian areas uninhabitable and in some cases, erases them completely. Elsewhere, unexploded Russian-made cluster munition bomblets, as well as damage consistent with bomblet impacts, have been found in a village in northern Mali – despite the West African country being a state party to the Convention on Cluster Munitions, which prohibits their use.

Welcome. It's an honor to have you. It's an honor to host your team, as well. I learned as we were walking up - last in Washington in 1986 - was training with US forces out of Fort Benning and previous before that, Fort Bragg. So it's great to have you here, sir, to have a soldier here. Under your president's leadership, Indonesia has stepped up as a world leader. And like President Trump, your president believes in peace through strength. And I commend Indonesia's participation in the Board of Peace and for playing a leading role in the International Stabilization Force in Gaza, as well. Thank you for your commitment to advancing President Trump's goal -- both of our presidents' goals of lasting peace. Your visit demonstrates the importance that the War Department places on our growing security relationship, and it is growing and active with Indonesia.

Summary: # 📩 Join Us Tomorrow: Implications of the War in Iran for Climate Security While climate change is a global driver of instability, the Middle East and North Africa stands out as a climate security hotspot, where environmental pressures and conflict dynamics reinforce one another.

  • # 📩 Join Us Tomorrow: Implications of the War in Iran for Climate Security While climate change is a global driver of instability, the Middle East and North Africa stands out as a climate security hotspot, where environmental pressures and conflict dynamics reinforce one another.
  • As the conflict between Iran, the U.S., and Israel intensifies and continues to spillover across the region, its consequences extend far beyond the battlefield, increasing pressure on food systems, water resources, energy infrastructure, and forcefully displacing communities in Iran, Lebanon, and elsewhere across the region.
  • This webinar, hosted by the Stimson Center’s Environmental Security Program and the AMENA Foundation, will bring together leading voices to examine how the intersection of war and climate change is driving new forms of insecurity, particularly in already fragile environments.
  • Focusing on human security, the conversation will address key dimensions, including food and water scarcity, energy disruptions, displacement and migration flows, and broader societal impacts.

Why it matters: As the conflict between Iran, the U.S., and Israel intensifies and continues to spillover across the region, its consequences extend far beyond the battlefield, increasing pressure on food systems, water resources, energy infrastructure, and forcefully displacing communities in Iran, Lebanon, and elsewhere across the region.
