It is time for collective action among like-minded economies rather than be caught in the US tariff turmoil

It is now close to 60 days since 'liberation day' and the subsequent announcement by United States President Donald Trump of a 90-day stay on the implementation of reciprocal tariffs. Notwithstanding this, tariff threats by the US President against not just 'countries of concern' but also allies and domestic firms continue almost on a daily basis. While this uncertain trade policy context makes it difficult to discern trends, some early signs of how global trade is evolving may be worth outlining.
First, while the exemption from reciprocal tariffs for United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement-compliant products and value added in case of auto/

Pakistan plans bitcoin reserve but govt says crypto still banned at home
In a high-profile presentation at the Bitcoin Vegas 2025 Conference, Pakistan took the global cryptocurrency community by surprise with an announcement to establish a state-backed Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, described as a symbolic step toward long-term engagement with decentralised finance. The declaration came from Bilal Bin Saqib, recently appointed as Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Crypto and Blockchain with the status of a Minister of State. Saqib, also serving as CEO of the newly created Pakistan Crypto Council, made the announcement after delivering a keynote address attended by influential figures including US Vice President JD Vance, Eric Trump, and Donald Trump Jr. 'We want to thank the US because we are getting inspired from them,' Saqib said, directly tying Pakistan's crypto strategy to US President Donald Trump's pro-crypto stance. Is cryptocurrency legal in Pakistan? Government says no On May 30, Finance Secretary Imdadullah Bosal clarified before the National Assembly's Standing Committee on Finance and Revenue that cryptocurrency is not recognised as legal tender, citing guidance from the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) and the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP). 'There will be a legal framework only when the government formally takes a decision,' Bosal said, confirming that existing crypto activities remain unlawful pending legislative changes. Pakistan proposes national Bitcoin wallet and crypto mining plan Saqib had revealed plans for a national bitcoin wallet to hold digital assets 'already in state custody,' framed not as speculative investments but as part of a 'sovereign reserve' to signal Pakistan's commitment to digital finance. In a bid to attract international crypto capital and technology firms, Saqib also announced the allocation of 2,000 megawatts of surplus electricity in the initiative's first phase. This power will support bitcoin mining and AI data centres, opening what Saqib described as a 'new digital frontier' to global investors, sovereign miners, and clean energy partners. 'Pakistan is no longer defined by its past. It is being reborn as a forward-looking hub of digital innovation,' Saqib said in a statement from his office. 'If you're building something real, come build it in Pakistan.' What is the Pakistan Digital Assets Authority and what will it do? Although parallel to Saqib's overseas campaign, the Pakistani government moved to create the Pakistan Digital Assets Authority (PDAA) on May 22, to regulate and formalise crypto and blockchain technologies. According to official statements, PDAA aims to develop a FATF-compliant regulatory framework, oversee virtual asset service providers (VASPs), and integrate blockchain in land records, finance, and governance systems. The Finance Division said the broader strategy was designed to monetise surplus electricity, create high-tech jobs, attract billions in foreign direct investment, and generate substantial revenue for the state. Economists warn against speculative crypto strategy and public risk While the government pitches crypto as an avenue for digital growth and foreign investment, several Pakistani economists are expressing alarm at what they view as a risky pivot toward fictitious assets. While some of these moves appear geared toward influence-building in Washington—especially with figures close to the Trump administration taking an active interest in Pakistan's crypto developments—economists argue that when crypto is positioned as a serious business proposition by the government, it becomes dangerous because the resources being put at risk are public. One concern is the speculative nature of sovereign crypto holdings. Economists noted that suggestions to invest part of Pakistan's foreign exchange reserves in crypto mirror tactics used by speculative brokers, highlighting bitcoin's historic price rises without mentioning its extreme volatility. Bitcoin mining in Pakistan: Why are electricity subsidies raising questions? The government's allocation of 2,000 MW for bitcoin mining has also sparked scrutiny. Economists question why crypto miners should receive electricity at subsidised rates per unit, far below the rate paid by households and industry, calling the move 'puzzling and opaque.' Crypto, unlike traditional assets such as money or gold, remains largely a speculative construct with limited liquidity and broader systemic risks. Experts have likened it to previous financial bubbles built on fictitious assets, from plot file scams to the collateralised debt obligations (CDOs) that precipitated the 2008 global financial crisis.

Israel has accepted new Gaza ceasefire plan, says US
Israel has agreed to a new United States-proposed temporary ceasefire with Hamas, the White House announced on Thursday. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters that Israel had 'backed and supported' the new proposal. Palestinian militant group Hamas says the proposal is ' still under discussion ', but claimed that in its current form, it would only result in 'the continuation of killing and famine' in Gaza, Al Jazeera reported. It 'does not respond to any of our people's demands, foremost among which is stopping the war and famine,' Bassem Naim, a top Hamas official, told the Associated Press. The details of the new proposal have not been made public, but The Times of Israel, citing a copy of the proposal that it reviewed, reported that Hamas would release 10 living Israeli hostages, along with the bodies of 18 others, during a 60-day ceasefire. In return, Israel would release 125 Palestinian prisoners serving life sentences, 1,111 individuals detained since October 7 and hand over the bodies of 180 Palestinians. The Israeli Defence Forces would also withdraw from certain areas, with precise details to be determined during the ongoing negotiations. Israel's military offensive against Gaza began in October 2023 after Hamas killed 1,200 persons during its incursion into southern Israel and took hostages. Israel has been carrying out unprecedented air and ground strikes on Gaza since then, killing more than 62,600 persons, including nearly 17,500 children. The Palestinian militant group still holds 58 of the about 200 persons it had taken hostage on October 7, 2023, according to the Associated Press. Most of the other hostages were released during the ceasefires. Israel has also enforced a severe blockade on humanitarian aid, which United Nations officials say has brought the population to the verge of famine. Although the blockade was partially eased on May 19, allowing limited aid to enter, UN Secretary-General António Guterres described the amount as merely a ' teaspoon ' compared to what is urgently required, Al Jazeera reported. Efforts to reinstate the ceasefire that took effect on January 19 have stalled due to major disagreements between Hamas and Israel. Tel Aviv demands the Palestinian militant group disarm, disband and release all remaining hostages, while Hamas refuses to disarm and insists Israel must withdraw its forces and agree to end the war.
