U.S. President Donald Trump has demonstrated a growing willingness to utilize the full scope of investigative and prosecutorial powers at his disposal. New York Times posted on X, highlighting Trump's assertive approach in employing these powers to further his political agenda. This development comes amid ongoing debates about the balance of power and the role of executive authority in the United States. Trump's actions have sparked discussions among political analysts and lawmakers, with some expressing concern over the potential implications for democratic institutions. Critics argue that such moves could undermine the checks and balances designed to prevent the abuse of power. Supporters of Trump, however, view his actions as a necessary step to address issues they believe have been neglected by previous administrations. They argue that his approach is a reflection of his commitment to fulfilling campaign promises and tackling challenges head-on. As the situation unfolds, the impact of Trump's intensified use of investigative powers remains a focal point in the broader discourse on governance and political strategy in the U.S.

국제금융협회(IIF)가 수요일 발표한 보고서에 따르면, 글로벌 부채 규모는 2025년 말 기준 사상 최대인 348조 달러로 증가했다. 이 중 지난해 한 해 동안만 부채 규모가 약 29조 달러 증가해 팬데믹 초기 이후 가장 빠른 연간 증가율을 기록했다. 데이터에 따르면 현재 글로벌 부채 사이클은 더 이상 가계나 기업이 주도하는 것이 아니라 주요 경제권의 지속적인 재정 적자에 의해 주도되고 있다. 국제금융협회가 최근 발표한 '글로벌 부채 모니터링' 보고서는 이 같은 증가가 주로 정부에 의해 주도되었으며, 정부 부채가 지난해 증가분의 10조 달러 이상을 차지했다고 지적했다. 보고서는 2025년 글로벌 부채가 GDP 대비 약 308%로 소폭 하락했는데, 이는 주로 선진국 경제의 영향이라고 설명했다. 반면 신흥시장 부채의 GDP 대비 비율은 지속적으로 상승해 235%를 넘어 역대 최고치를 기록했다.

On February 26, Atlanta Fed President Bostic expressed concerns over the erosion of public trust in the Federal Reserve's political neutrality due to tensions between the Fed and the White House. According to BlockBeats, this marks one of the most direct warnings from a senior monetary policy official regarding the consequences of U.S. President Donald Trump's firm stance against the Fed. In a farewell article written before his retirement from the Atlanta Fed at the end of February, Bostic noted that his colleagues within the Federal Reserve System remain committed to keeping their work separate from politics. However, he observed during recent visits that legal and verbal confrontations surrounding the central bank have led people from various social strata to question the Fed's independence, which he finds deeply concerning. Bostic is not the only Fed official this year to emphasize the importance of central bank independence, but none have issued as direct a warning as he did on Wednesday, highlighting the potential impact of ongoing controversies on public trust in the institution.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has projected a 2.4% growth rate for the U.S. economy in 2026, aligning with its January World Economic Outlook (WEO) forecast. According to Jin10, the IMF suggests that the transmission of tariffs to U.S. consumer prices may be less significant than anticipated, potentially accelerating the decline in inflation and bolstering economic activity.

Matt Western, chair of the UK's Joint Committee on National Security Strategy, has called for a temporary suspension of cryptocurrency donations to political parties, citing potential foreign interference. According to Cointelegraph, Western addressed his concerns in a letter to Steve Reed, Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, recommending the inclusion of a 'temporary moratorium' on crypto donations in the upcoming Representation of the People Bill. This moratorium would remain until the Electoral Commission provides statutory guidance. Western expressed worries about the increasing likelihood of foreign states attempting to influence UK political finance as the next election approaches. He noted that as the security environment deteriorates and the UK's military involvement in Europe expands, the incentive to sway UK political positions, particularly regarding Ukraine or US/EU relations, is likely to grow. In January, Western, along with other MPs chairing parliamentary committees, advocated for a complete ban on crypto donations in the Representation of the People Bill, warning of the potential for foreign states to use such payments to influence UK politics. However, the bill introduced to the House of Commons on February 12 did not include a full ban. Western argued that the Electoral Commission should mandate political parties to use only crypto services registered with the Financial Conduct Authority, the UK's financial services regulator. He suggested prohibiting donations involving mixers or originating from unknown sources and recommended that political parties convert received crypto to fiat within 48 hours. The next general election in the UK is required to occur by August 15, 2029, while the Representation of the People Bill is set for a second reading in the House of Commons on March 2. Western's letter also proposed longer-term solutions, including the establishment of a national police force dedicated to overseeing political finance and combating foreign interference. He highlighted the lack of a clear national enforcement lead for political finance and foreign interference risks, with responsibilities divided among various agencies such as the Electoral Commission, the Metropolitan Police Service, Counter-Terror Policing, the National Crime Agency, MI5, and local police forces. Additionally, Western recommended implementing source-of-wealth checks for donors, reviewing sentencing for electoral finance offenses, increasing penalties for breaches, and enhancing the Electoral Commission's powers to compel institutions to disclose donation sources. Reform UK became the first party to accept crypto donations in May last year, with leader Nigel Farage announcing at the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas that the group is accepting Bitcoin (BTC) and other cryptocurrency contributions from eligible donors.
