The Luxembourg government announced its investment in bitcoin. Finance Minister Gilles Roth himself announced the news during the presentation of the 2026 Budget to the Chamber of Deputies.

The measure makes the country the first in the eurozone to launch a new FSIL investment policy, approved by the government in July 2025. Regarding this, Treasury Director Bob Keiffer stated: “Recognizing the growing maturity of this new asset class and reaffirming Luxembourg’s leadership in digital finance, this investment reflects the country’s long-term vision.”

With this initiative, Luxembourg joins a handful of European countries that hold Bitcoin, “although most—such as Finland, Georgia, and the United Kingdom—did so following crime-related seizures. Only Georgia, outside the eurozone, holds 66 BTC as a sovereign investment.”

With this decision, which is viewed with caution by other eurozone countries, Luxembourg “thus strengthens its position as a European leader in the crypto and blockchain ecosystem.”

Miftah Ismail wondered at a press conference on Pakistan Television, collected by the state agency APP, how the government can speak of real freedom without achieving economic self-sufficiency.

In this regard, the minister declared that the previous government was leading the country into non-compliance, while the Prime Minister’s Executive, Mohamed Shehbaz Sharif, would have saved the nation from bankruptcy. “We have saved the country from a situation like the one in Sri Lanka,” he said.

The delegate of the economic portfolio has assured in an interview with Bloomberg News that he wants to break the cycle of boom and bust that has developed for decades in Pakistan so that the nation lives within its means.

“I want to see a Pakistan that lives within its means. That’s all,” he declared, before clarifying that these plans “can’t happen in a year”, but he has asked to start with the programs.

Since taking office in April, the former IMF economist has worked to reduce the huge trade gap and current account deficit. The minister expects economic growth of more than 3.5 percent for the fiscal year.

Imports from Pakistan must be equal to the inflow of dollars from exports and remittances provided by citizens living abroad, he has indicated, therefore, he has proposed that the restrictions on luxury items remain in force longer than provided.
