‘Girls Active’ is an initiative developed by the Youth Sport Trust, which supports schools to increase girls’ engagement and enjoyment in PE, school sport and physical activity.

The programme encourages teachers and girls to work together, empowering them to take positive action through influencing, leadership and inspiring their peers.

Joining over 60 primary school girls aged 9-12 years at the recent ‘Girls Active Inspiration Day’ at Dromore Community Centre, was Irish Olympian Kerry O’Flaherty, who shared her own personal journey in sport from competing at the Commonwealth Games to the European and World Championships in the 3000m. Kerry encouraged each girl to believe in themselves and reinforced the message that “it’s never too late to take part in sport!”

With funding from Sport NI, through the Community Planning Investment Programme 24/25, Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough (ABC) Council has once again teamed up with the Youth Sport Trust to deliver this programme with local primary schools.

Deputy Lord Mayor of Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon, Councillor Kyle Savage said: “We are seeing a very welcome popularity in female sports across our borough. Physical fitness and mental wellbeing go hand-in-hand with academic achievement, and as such, ‘Girls Active’ offers girls the chance to get involved in the design and delivery of activities that will appeal to their peers and boost interest and participation in sports within their schools. I wish all the girls involved in the programme every success.”

Throughout the event, the girls took part in a range of activities including dance and exercises, team building games and workshops focusing on leadership, marketing and action planning. The action plans developed on the day will help the girls and teachers work together to engage more girls to be active within their schools.

Richard Archibald, Interim CEO at Sport NI said: “We are delighted to support Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council with their Girls Active programme. Our Community Planning Investment programme is supporting councils across Northern Ireland to provide more opportunities for people to participate in sport and physical activity in their local areas.

“Sport has the power to change lives; it supports our physical and mental health, boosts confidence and provides an environment to make new friends. At Sport NI we want girls to find their place and Be Seen, Be Heard and Belong in sport and I hope this programme kickstarts a lifelong involvement in sport for the girls who took part.”

On March 25, 2025, the next meeting of the Academic Council of the State University of Management was held.

Traditionally, we started with the congratulatory part. Rector Vladimir Stroyev presented letters of gratitude from the Ministry of Science and Higher Education for their contribution to the development of practice-oriented education, the development of the federation within the framework of the “Service Learning” program to Vice-Rector Dmitry Bryukhanov and Associate Professor of the Department of Management in International Business and Tourism Industry Svetlana Grishaeva.

Vladimir Vitalyevich also congratulated the birthday boys of the month and thanked Elena Shtyreva, an employee of the Institute of Distance Education of the State University of Management, for 55 years of continuous work at the State University of Management.

“I also want to join in the congratulations and say “thank you” on behalf of all the institute’s employees for their daily work and contribution to the development of the institute. I know where she gets this character from, her grandfather was the deputy commander of Vasily Chapaev’s division,” Sergei Lenshin, director of the Fine Arts Department of the State University of Management, congratulated Elena Arkadyevna.

After the completion of the formal part, those gathered moved on to considering the issues on the agenda.

Deputy Director of the Department of Academic Policy and Implementation of Educational Programs Olga Zhuravleva presented a summary report on the self-assessment of the main areas of the university’s activities for 2024.

“For the first time, we worked on the report together with the Center for Prospective Development, which allowed us to better present the overall picture. The indicators have mostly increased and are impressive. The University is successfully developing in most indicators. However, there are also growth points and challenges of modern society that we need to work with more actively,” Olga Zhuravleva noted.

Director of the Center for Prospective Development Tatyana Gordeeva spoke about the results of the implementation of the State University of Management Development Program for 2024.

“2024 has become a fundamental year in the formation of the organizational foundations of the development program. At the same time, today we are already working on its implementation in the context of the emerging new system of higher education. What it will be like is still unknown, but we must keep this in mind. In addition, there are risks of reducing off-budget admission to humanitarian programs, which are key for the State University of Management today. Therefore, today it is important to focus on the effective implementation of the development tasks that we have defined for ourselves in order to form the necessary reserve for participation in new national projects and the implementation of our ambitious goals,” Tatyana Gordeeva emphasized.

Vladimir Stroev noted the importance of not only taking into account indicators in areas, but also making proposals for their improvement, which he expects from every employee.

“The issue of the development program is not simple, it is connected with many indicators that are used in different systems and different issues. And all our reports must be treated responsibly, not only noting positive results, but also expressing criticism in case of their failure. These data are a reason to think about what we are doing now and what will happen to us tomorrow. It would be good not just to fulfill the indicators, but also to exceed them, or be close to this,” concluded Vladimir Vitalyevich.

Director of the Institute of Economics and Finance Galina Sorokina reported on the results of the institute’s work for 2024.

“The institute has shown growth in almost all areas, so it is especially pleasant to make a report. The number of not only admitted students has grown, but also those who transferred from other universities. The number of foreign students has also grown, with Vietnamese students predominating. The number of educational programs implemented by the institute is also growing. A program on behavioral economics is being developed, which will be carried out jointly with the Central Bank and Rosfinmonitoring,” Galina Petrovna noted.

Vice-Rector Pavel Pavlovsky informed those gathered about the implementation of the Youth Policy Strategy at the State University of Management.

“The State University of Management is undoubtedly one of the leading universities in the implementation of youth policy. We became the first university in Moscow for educational work, and in Russia we took 3rd place among universities with a population of 5 to 10 thousand people. In 2024, 47 federal projects were held on the basis of the State University of Management. This year, we initiated the All-Russian student competition “Family History. Immortal Memory”, expanded the geography of the All-Russian project “Course for Business and Entrepreneurship” that we are implementing, which will be held not only in the International Children’s Center “Artek” and the All-Russian Children’s Center “Ocean”, but also in the All-Russian Children’s Centers “Smena” and “Orlyonok”. And, of course, the All-Russian KVN School, “University Shifts” and other important events await us,” Pavel Vladimirovich shared.

Vice-Rector Dmitry Bryukhanov proposed creating a Preparatory Department for Foreign Citizens, which was unanimously supported by the council members.

At the end of the meeting, Vladimir Stroyev called on those gathered to prepare not only for the 2025 admissions campaign, but also to think about admissions in 2026 and make their proposals.

“This year, the admission campaign is still under the old system, but next year a new model will be adopted, and we must be ready. It is time to prepare proposals for our areas in a given situation, including in the event of a stressful situation. We must have specific solutions for each issue,” the rector of the State University of Management concluded.

In addition, the meeting discussed the nomination of GUU employees to participate in the All-Russian competition “Golden Names of Higher Education”, approval of new DPO programs, tuition fees and other work issues.

MIL-OSI Europe: Answer to a written question – ‘Demographic change in Europe: a toolbox for action’ – question on assistance to national authorities in addressing demographic change – E-000216/2025(ASW)
Source: European Parliament
Since demography is a cross-cutting issue and with no direct legal basis for EU-level policy interventions, the Demography Toolbox focuses on integrating demographic considerations into various funding schemes and initiatives across policy domains.

The Commission supports Member States in funding demographic studies and support programs through instruments such as the European Social Fund Plus (ESF+) and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). The ESF+ is investing in people and helping to address the demographic challenges.

The total budget is of EUR 142 billion for 2021-2027. It supports e.g. employment measures, access to services, e.g. long-term care and childcare, and education and skills.

The ERDF has been supporting EU regions to address their challenges to growth and prosperity, including demography, for decades.[1]

The Technical Support Instrument assists national authorities with their strategies addressing demographic change.[2]

Under the Talent Booster Mechanism[3], the ‘Smart adaptation of regions to demographic transition’ is aimed at all EU regions in demographic decline. It offers technical assistance to Castilla y León and Extremadura to adapt to demographic transition and invest in talent development.[4]

Through the European Statistical System, the Commission supports Member States to enhance their population and housing statistics and to implement the future legal framework for European statistics on population and housing.

To enhance the analysis and research on demographic change the Commission has developed the Atlas of Demography[5]. The launch of the regional section of the Atlas in the second half of 2025 will include analyses and projections of demographic decline for EU regions and municipalities.

[1] In 2021-2027, EUR 7.2 billion from the ERDF are invested into improving healthcare and long-term care, EUR 5.6 billion in education and training, and EUR 40.5 billion are supporting connectivity. EUR 41 billion are supporting territorial strategies fostering urban and rural linkages, new economic opportunities and access to services.

[2] Responding to a specific request from Spain, the Commission launched the ‘REFORM: 25ES20 — Integrated approaches to address the Demographic Challenge in Spain’, see https://reform-support.ec.europa.eu/our-projects/flagship-technical-support-projects/tsi-2025-flagship-tackling-demographic-change-through-supporting-skills-labour-market-and-social_en

[3] https://ec.europa.eu/regional_policy/policy/communities-and-networks/harnessing-talent-platform_en

[4] The initiative more widely supports access to knowledge and funding opportunities to regions and cities from the Technical Support Instrument (TSI), the Interregional Innovation Investments (I3) and European Urban Initiative (EUI), which are already materialising with many projects on the ground all across Europe.

MIL-OSI Europe: MOTION FOR A RESOLUTION on energy-intensive industries – B10-0199/2025

Source: European Parliament

Giorgio Gori, Wouter Beke, Jana Nagyová, Mariateresa Vivaldini, Brigitte van den Berg, Benedetta Scuderi
on behalf of the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy

B10‑0199/2025

European Parliament resolution on energy-intensive industries

(2025/2536(RSP))

The European Parliament,

– having regard to the report of September 2024 by Mario Draghi entitled ‘On the future of European competitiveness’,

– having regard to the report of April 2024 by Enrico Letta entitled ‘Much more than a market’,

– having regard to the Commission communication of 26 February 2025 entitled ‘The Clean Industrial Deal: A joint roadmap for competitiveness and decarbonisation’ (COM(2025)0085),

– having regard to the Commission communication of 26 February 2025 entitled ‘Action Plan for Affordable Energy’ (COM(2025)0079),

– having regard to the question to the Commission on energy-intensive industries (O‑000010/2025 – B10‑0000/2025),

– having regard to Rules 142(5) and 136(2) of its Rules of Procedure,

– having regard to the motion for a resolution of the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy,

A. whereas energy-intensive industries (EIIs) account for a significant share of the EU’s economy and play a key role in job creation, especially in areas and regions where they are concentrated; whereas EIIs are crucial for the EU’s strategic autonomy and competitiveness, as well as for decarbonisation, taking into account their energy footprint;

B. whereas the transition to a decarbonised economy and a clean energy system must lead to reducing energy prices and must take into account all available technologies that contribute to reaching the EU’s net zero goal for 2050 in the most cost-efficient way, avoiding lock-in effects and taking into account the different energy mix across Member States, including with regard to renewables and nuclear;

C. whereas electrification is at the centre of the decarbonisation of EIIs; whereas EIIs include sectors that use fossil resources to meet temperature, pressure or reaction requirements, such as chemicals, steel, paper, plastics, mining, refineries, cement, lime, non-ferrous metals, glass, ceramics and fertilisers, for which greenhouse gas emissions are hard to reduce because they are intrinsic to the process or because of high capital or operating expenditure costs or low technological maturity;

D. whereas the energy price gap between the EU and the US and China undermines the competitiveness of the EU’s industries; whereas elevated and volatile fossil fuel prices heavily affect electricity prices and the affordable cost of renewable energy sources is not transferred to energy bills;

E. whereas an insufficiently integrated energy union poses further challenges to EIIs, in particular in relation to the lack of cross-border interconnections and the limited availability of clean energy, owing to lengthy permitting procedures or high capital or operating expenditures, as well as grid congestion;

F. whereas the emissions trading system (ETS) provided long-term investment signals and helped bring down the emissions of ETS sectors by 47 %; whereas the energy market has profoundly changed since the introduction of the ETS, especially after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the shift from pipeline gas to liquid natural gas (LNG); whereas a lack of carbon market transparency risks hampering EIIs’ competitiveness; whereas ETS revenues are used unevenly across Member States, failing to adequately support EIIs’ decarbonisation;

G. whereas unnecessary regulatory burdens and lengthy permitting procedures undermine the business case for investing in decarbonisation in Europe; whereas the concept of overriding public interest is provided for in EU legislation; whereas complex and fragmented EU funding impedes timely investment in net-zero technologies and digitalisation, in particular for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs);

H. whereas the lack of necessary private investment risks hindering EIIs’ decarbonisation; whereas relying excessively on State aid can have the unwanted consequences of exacerbating disparities and distorting competition across the EU;

I. whereas the EU’s dependencies and limited access, both in quantity and quality, to primary and secondary raw materials pose significant challenges to EIIs; whereas circularity and efficiency can help reduce the annual investment needs in industry and in energy supply; whereas currently, ferrous metals exported to non-EU countries account for more than half of all EU waste exports, raising concerns about their sound treatment;

J. whereas unfair competition from non-EU countries, including subsidised overcapacity, poses a great challenge to EU companies; whereas many regions around the world do not currently have ambitious decarbonisation targets, thus increasing the risk of carbon leakage;

K. whereas a profound transformation of EIIs cannot succeed without the involvement of local and regional communities, workers and social partners, which are heavily affected by the transition;

1. Reiterates its commitment to the EU’s decarbonisation objectives and to stable and predictable climate and industrial policies;

2. Calls on the Member States to accelerate permitting and licensing processes for clean energy projects, ensuring administrative capacity, and to facilitate grid connections to enable clean, on-site energy generation, especially in remote areas; stresses that the growth of renewables and electrification will require massive investment in grids and in flexibility, storage and distribution networks; calls on the Commission to develop, beyond the concept of overriding public interest, solutions for speeding up decarbonisation projects;

3. Believes that further action is needed to implement the electricity market design (EMD) rules, especially to promote power purchase agreements (PPAs) and two-way contracts for difference (CfDs) to reduce volatility and energy costs for EIIs; calls on the Commission to propose urgent measures to address current barriers to the signing of long-term agreements, especially for SMEs, using risk reduction instruments and guarantees, including public guarantee such as by the European Investment Bank (EIB); suggests that additional ways to decouple fossil fuel prices from electricity prices be explored, in the framework of the EMD, including with the aim of boosting long-term contracts in line with the affordable energy action plan, and by advancing the analysis of short-term markets to 2025;

4. Calls on the Commission to assess the possibility of scaling up best practice for EIIs from Member States, such as Italy’s energy release; calls on the Commission to develop recommendations for reducing the exposure of consumers, and especially EIIs, to rising energy costs, such as by reducing taxes and levies and harmonising network charges, while ensuring public investment in grids;

5. Calls for the enhancement of energy system integration, in particular in relation to cross-border interconnections, to ensure clean and resilient energy supply; asks for increased investment in flexibility, such as storage, including pumped storage hydropower and heat and waste heat storage, and demand response, to optimise grid stability; recalls the importance of energy efficiency in bringing costs down;

6. Underlines the need to phase out natural gas as soon as possible; stresses that some sectors cannot rely substantially on electrification in the short to medium term; calls on the Member States – over the same time span and for these limited sectors – to develop measures to address gas price spikes in duly justified cases; calls on the Commission to develop tools to ensure gas supply at a mitigated cost, by enabling demand aggregation, building on AggregateEU, and joint gas purchasing, while keeping decarbonisation objectives; highlights the importance of encouraging stable contracts with gas suppliers, diversifying supply routes and improving market transparency and stability, in line with current legislation; calls for an impact assessment in the upcoming ETS review to analyse the relationship between the gas market and CO2 prices and the role of the market stability reserve and its parameters;

7. Calls on the Commission to support EIIs in adopting clean and net-zero technologies, including hydrogen, and energy-efficient production methods by strengthening funding mechanisms and ensuring that ETS revenue is used effectively by Member States; calls for EU-level support to be complemented by State aid that allows for targeted support to EIIs, while preserving a level playing field within the single market;

8. Calls for InvestEU to be topped up before the next multiannual financial framework (MFF) and for leftover Resilience and Recovery Facility loans to support investment in EII decarbonisation; notes that the Strategic Technologies for Europe Platform already allows for flexibility within current programmes but that this is insufficient; insists that the upcoming MFF increase funding to support EIIs, building on the Innovation Fund and the Connecting Europe Facility – Energy or through the competitiveness fund; stresses that the European Hydrogen Bank and the carbon contracts for difference programme need to be scaled up; calls on the Commission to build on the Net-Zero Industry Act [1] in the upcoming decarbonisation accelerator act, to streamline the processes for granting permits and strategic project status;

9. Stresses the need to simplify bureaucratic procedures to enhance the attractiveness of private investment and support EIIs’ transition; believes that both InvestEU and the EIB are pivotal in catalysing private financing, especially through de-risking measures;

10. Emphasises the need to secure access to critical raw materials; stresses that the upcoming circular economy act should improve resource efficiency, including through better waste management of products containing critical raw materials, as well as fostering the demand and availability of secondary raw materials; stresses the need to define those secondary raw materials that are strategic and that should be subject to export monitoring, such as steel and metal scrap, and to tackle any imbalance in their supply and demand, including by exploring export restrictions; insists on the effective enforcement of the Waste Shipment Regulation [2];

11. Calls on the Commission to make full and efficient use of trade defence instruments; calls on the Commission to find a permanent solution to address unfair competition and structural overcapacity, before the expiry of current steel safeguard measures in 2026; calls on the Commission to engage with the US in relation to the announced tariffs on EU imports and avoid any harmful escalation;

12. Stresses that an effective implementation of the carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM) is essential to ensure a level playing field for EU industries and prevent carbon leakage, taking into account the impact of the parallel phasing out of the ETS free allowances and the risk of increased production costs; calls on the Commission to address the risks of resource shuffling and circumvention of the CBAM; asks, furthermore, for the implementation of an effective solution for EU exporters and an analysis of the possible extension to further sectors and downstream products, preceded by an impact assessment;

13. Calls for the creation of lead markets for clean and circular European products, via non-price criteria in EU public procurement, such as sustainability and resilience and a European preference for strategic sectors, as well as by creating voluntary labelling schemes and minimum EU content requirements in a cost-effective way;

14. Highlights the importance of a just transition to assist areas heavily reliant on EIIs, by keeping and creating quality jobs through upskilling and reskilling programmes for workers and through the effective use of regional support mechanisms, such as the Just Transition Fund and the Cohesion Fund; stresses that public support will be pivotal for the transition of EIIs and that this support should be tied to their commitment to safeguarding employment and working conditions and preventing off-shoring; welcomes the Union of Skills initiative to ensure a good match between skills and labour market demands;

15. Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Commission, the Council and the governments and parliaments of the Member States.

Performance data quoted represents past performance and is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when sold or redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost and current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted above. Performance current to the most recent month-end can be obtained by calling (833) 378-0717.

Note: DIPS, FIAT, CRSH and YQQQ are hereinafter referred to as the “Short ETFs”.

Distributions are not guaranteed. The Distribution Rate and 30-Day SEC Yield are not indicative of future distributions, if any, on the ETFs. In particular, future distributions on any ETF may differ significantly from its Distribution Rate or 30-Day SEC Yield. You are not guaranteed a distribution under the ETFs. Distributions for the ETFs (if any) are variable and may vary significantly from period to period and may be zero. Accordingly, the Distribution Rate and 30-Day SEC Yield will change over time, and such change may be significant.

Investors in the Funds will not have rights to receive dividends or other distributions with respect to the underlying reference asset(s).


¹	All YieldMax™ ETFs shown in the table above (except *YMAX, YMAG, FEAT, FIVY* and *ULTY*) have a gross expense ratio of 0.99%. *YMAX, YMAG* and *FEAT* have a Management Fee of 0.29% and Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses of 0.99% for a gross expense ratio of 1.28%. *FIVY* has a Management Fee of 0.29% and Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses of 0.59% for a gross expense ratio of 0.88%. “Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses” are indirect fees and expenses that the Fund incurs from investing in the shares of other investment companies, namely other YieldMax™ ETFs. *ULTY* has a gross expense ratio after the fee waiver of 1.30%. The Advisor has agreed to a fee waiver of 0.10% through at least February 28, 2026.
²	The Distribution Rate shown is as of close on *March* 25, 2025. The Distribution Rate is the annual distribution rate an investor would receive if the most recent distribution, *which includes option income*, remained the same going forward. The Distribution Rate is calculated by annualizing an ETF’s Distribution per Share and dividing such annualized amount by the ETF’s most recent NAV. The Distribution Rate represents a single distribution from the ETF and does not represent its total return. Distributions may also include a combination of ordinary dividends, capital gain, and return of investor capital, which may decrease an ETF’s NAV and trading price over time. As a result, an investor may suffer significant losses to their investment. These Distribution Rates may be caused by unusually favorable market conditions and may not be sustainable. Such conditions may not continue to exist and there should be no expectation that this performance may be repeated in the future.
³	The 30-Day SEC Yield represents net investment income, *which excludes option income, earned by such ETF over the 30-Day period* ended February 28, 2025, expressed as an annual percentage rate based on such ETF’s share price at the end of the 30-Day period.
⁴	Each ETF’s strategy (*except those of the Short ETFs*) will cap potential gains if its reference asset’s shares increase in value, yet subjects an investor to all potential losses if the reference asset’s shares decrease in value. Such potential losses may not be offset by income received by the ETF. Each *Short ETF’s* strategy will cap potential gains if its reference asset decreases in value, yet subjects an investor to all potential losses if the reference asset increases in value. Such potential losses may not be offset by income received by the ETF.
⁵	ROC refers to Return of Capital. The ROC percentage is the portion of the distribution that represents an investor’s original investment.

Each Fund has a limited operating history and while each Fund’s objective is to provide current income, there is no guarantee the Fund will make a distribution. Distributions are likely to vary greatly in amount.

Investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible.

Call Writing Strategy Risk. The path dependency (i.e., the continued use) of the Fund’s call writing strategy will impact the extent that the Fund participates in the positive price returns of the underlying reference asset and, in turn, the Fund’s returns, both during the term of the sold call options and over longer periods.

Counterparty Risk. The Fund is subject to counterparty risk by virtue of its investments in options contracts. Transactions in some types of derivatives, including options, are required to be centrally cleared (“cleared derivatives”). In a transaction involving cleared derivatives, the Fund’s counterparty is a clearing house rather than a bank or broker. Since the Fund is not a member of clearing houses and only members of a clearing house (“clearing members”) can participate directly in the clearing house, the Fund will hold cleared derivatives through accounts at clearing members.

Derivatives Risk. Derivatives are financial instruments that derive value from the underlying reference asset or assets, such as stocks, bonds, or funds (including ETFs), interest rates or indexes. The Fund’s investments in derivatives may pose risks in addition to, and greater than, those associated with directly investing in securities or other ordinary investments, including risk related to the market, imperfect correlation with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings, higher price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty risk, liquidity, valuation and legal restrictions.

Options Contracts. The use of options contracts involves investment strategies and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The prices of options are volatile and are influenced by, among other things, actual and anticipated changes in the value of the underlying instrument, including the anticipated volatility, which are affected by fiscal and monetary policies and by national and international political, changes in the actual or implied volatility or the reference asset, the time remaining until the expiration of the option contract and economic events.

Distribution Risk. As part of the Fund’s investment objective, the Fund seeks to provide current income. There is no assurance that the Fund will make a distribution in any given period. If the Fund does make distributions, the amounts of such distributions will likely vary greatly from one distribution to the next.

High Portfolio Turnover Risk. The Fund may actively and frequently trade all or a significant portion of the Fund’s holdings. A high portfolio turnover rate increases transaction costs, which may increase the Fund’s expenses.

Liquidity Risk. Some securities held by the Fund, including options contracts, may be difficult to sell or be illiquid, particularly during times of market turmoil.

Non-Diversification Risk. Because the Fund is “non-diversified,” it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in the securities of a single issuer or a smaller number of issuers than if it was a diversified fund.

New Fund Risk. The Fund is a recently organized management investment company with no operating history. As a result, prospective investors do not have a track record or history on which to base their investment decisions.

Price Participation Risk. The Fund employs an investment strategy that includes the sale of call option contracts, which limits the degree to which the Fund will participate in increases in value experienced by the underlying reference asset over the Call Period.

Single Issuer Risk. Issuer-specific attributes may cause an investment in the Fund to be more volatile than a traditional pooled investment which diversifies risk or the market generally. The value of the Fund, which focuses on an individual security (ARKK, TSLA, AAPL, NVDA, AMZN, META, GOOGL, NFLX, COIN, MSFT, DIS, XOM, JPM, AMD, PYPL, SQ, MRNA, AI, MSTR, Bitcoin ETP, GDX^®, SNOW, ABNB, BABA, TSM, SMCI, PLTR, MARA, CVNA), may be more volatile than a traditional pooled investment or the market as a whole and may perform differently from the value of a traditional pooled investment or the market as a whole.

Inflation Risk. Inflation risk is the risk that the value of assets or income from investments will be less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the present value of the Fund’s assets and distributions, if any, may decline.

Indirect Investment Risk. The Index is not affiliated with the Trust, the Fund, the Adviser, or their respective affiliates and is not involved with this offering in any way.

Risk Disclosures (applicable only to GPTY)

Artificial Intelligence Risk. Issuers engaged in artificial intelligence typically have high research and capital expenditures and, as a result, their profitability can vary widely, if they are profitable at all. The space in which they are engaged is highly competitive and issuers’ products and services may become obsolete very quickly. These companies are heavily dependent on intellectual property rights and may be adversely affected by loss or impairment of those rights. The issuers are also subject to legal, regulatory and political changes that may have a large impact on their profitability. A failure in an issuer’s product or even questions about the safety of the product could be devastating to the issuer, especially if it is the marquee product of the issuer. It can be difficult to accurately capture what qualifies as an artificial intelligence company.

Technology Sector Risk. The Fund will invest substantially in companies in the information technology sector, and therefore the performance of the Fund could be negatively impacted by events affecting this sector. Market or economic factors impacting technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technological advances could have a significant effect on the value of the Fund’s investments. The value of stocks of information technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology is particularly vulnerable to rapid changes in technology product cycles, rapid product obsolescence, government regulation and competition, both domestically and internationally, including competition from foreign competitors with lower production costs. Stocks of information technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology, especially those of smaller, less-seasoned companies, tend to be more volatile than the overall market. Information technology companies are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights, the loss or impairment of which may adversely affect profitability.

Risk Disclosure (applicable only to MARO)

Digital Assets Risk: The Fund does not invest directly in Bitcoin or any other digital assets. The Fund does not invest directly in derivatives that track the performance of Bitcoin or any other digital assets. The Fund does not invest in or seek direct exposure to the current “spot” or cash price of Bitcoin. Investors seeking direct exposure to the price of Bitcoin should consider an investment other than the Fund. Digital assets like Bitcoin, designed as mediums of exchange, are still an emerging asset class. They operate independently of any central authority or government backing and are subject to regulatory changes and extreme price volatility.

Risk Disclosures (applicable only to BABO and TSMY)

Currency Risk: Indirect exposure to foreign currencies subjects the Fund to the risk that currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar. Currency rates in foreign countries may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including changes in interest rates and the imposition of currency controls or other political developments in the U.S. or abroad.

Depositary Receipts Risk: The securities underlying BABO and TSMY are American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”). Investment in ADRs may be less liquid than the underlying shares in their primary trading market.

Foreign Market and Trading Risk: The trading markets for many foreign securities are not as active as U.S. markets and may have less governmental regulation and oversight.

Foreign Securities Risk: Investments in securities of non-U.S. issuers involve certain risks that may not be present with investments in securities of U.S. issuers, such as risk of loss due to foreign currency fluctuations or to political or economic instability, as well as varying regulatory requirements applicable to investments in non-U.S. issuers. There may be less information publicly available about a non-U.S. issuer than a U.S. issuer. Non-U.S. issuers may also be subject to different regulatory, accounting, auditing, financial reporting and investor protection standards than U.S. issuers.

Risk Disclosures (applicable only to GDXY)

Risk of Investing in Foreign Securities. The Fund is exposed indirectly to the securities of foreign issuers selected by GDX^®’s investment adviser, which subjects the Fund to the risks associated with such companies. Investments in the securities of foreign issuers involve risks beyond those associated with investments in U.S. securities.

Risk of Investing in Gold and Silver Mining Companies. The Fund is exposed indirectly to gold and silver mining companies selected by GDX^®’s investment adviser, which subjects the Fund to the risks associated with such companies.

The Fund invests in options contracts based on the value of the VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX^®), which subjects the Fund to some of the same risks as if it owned GDX^®, as well as the risks associated with Canadian, Australian and Emerging Market Issuers, and Small-and Medium-Capitalization companies.

Risk Disclosures (applicable only to YBIT)

YBIT does not invest directly in Bitcoin or any other digital assets. YBIT does not invest directly in derivatives that track the performance of Bitcoin or any other digital assets. YBIT does not invest in or seek direct exposure to the current “spot” or cash price of Bitcoin. Investors seeking direct exposure to the price of Bitcoin should consider an investment other than YBIT.

Bitcoin Investment Risk: The Fund’s indirect investment in Bitcoin, through holdings in one or more Underlying ETPs, exposes it to the unique risks of this emerging innovation. Bitcoin’s price is highly volatile, and its market is influenced by the changing Bitcoin network, fluctuating acceptance levels, and unpredictable usage trends.

Digital Assets Risk: Digital assets like Bitcoin, designed as mediums of exchange, are still an emerging asset class. They operate independently of any central authority or government backing and are subject to regulatory changes and extreme price volatility. Potentially No 1940 Act Protections. As of the date of this Prospectus, there is only a single eligible Underlying ETP, and it is an investment company subject to the 1940 Act.

Bitcoin ETP Risk: The Fund invests in options contracts that are based on the value of the Bitcoin ETP. This subjects the Fund to certain of the same risks as if it owned shares of the Bitcoin ETP, even though it does not. Bitcoin ETPs are subject, but not limited, to significant risk and heightened volatility. An investor in a Bitcoin ETP may lose their entire investment. Bitcoin ETPs are not suitable for all investors. In addition, not all Bitcoin ETPs are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Those Bitcoin ETPs that are not registered under such statute are therefore not subject to the same regulations as exchange traded products that are so registered.

Risk Disclosures (applicable only to the Short ETFs)

Investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible.

Price Appreciation Risk. As part of the Fund’s synthetic covered put strategy, the Fund purchases and sells call and put option contracts that are based on the value of the underlying reference asset. This strategy subjects the Fund to certain of the same risks as if it shorted the underlying reference asset, even though it does not. By virtue of the Fund’s indirect inverse exposure to changes in the value of the underlying reference asset, the Fund is subject to the risk that the value of the underlying reference asset increases. If the value of the underlying reference asset increases, the Fund will likely lose value and, as a result, the Fund may suffer significant losses.

Put Writing Strategy Risk. The path dependency (i.e., the continued use) of the Fund’s put writing (selling) strategy will impact the extent that the Fund participates in decreases in the value of the underlying reference asset and, in turn, the Fund’s returns, both during the term of the sold put options and over longer periods.

Purchased OTM Call Options Risk. The Fund’s strategy is subject to potential losses if the underlying reference asset increases in value, which may not be offset by the purchase of out-of-the-money (OTM) call options. The Fund purchases OTM calls to seek to manage (cap) the Fund’s potential losses from the Fund’s short exposure to the underlying reference asset if it appreciates significantly in value. However, the OTM call options will cap the Fund’s losses only to the extent that the value of the underlying reference asset increases to a level that is at or above the strike level of the purchased OTM call options. Any increase in the value of the underlying reference asset to a level that is below the strike level of the purchased OTM call options will result in a corresponding loss for the Fund. For example, if the OTM call options have a strike level that is approximately 100% above the then-current value of the underlying reference asset at the time of the call option purchase, and the value of the underlying reference asset increases by at least 100% during the term of the purchased OTM call options, the Fund will lose all its value. Since the Fund bears the costs of purchasing the OTM calls, such costs will decrease the Fund’s value and/or any income otherwise generated by the Fund’s investment strategy.

Options Contracts. The use of options contracts involves investment strategies and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The prices of options are volatile and are influenced by, among other things, actual and anticipated changes in the value of the underlying reference asset, including the anticipated volatility, which are affected by fiscal and monetary policies and by national and international political, changes in the actual or implied volatility or the reference asset, the time remaining until the expiration of the option contract and economic events.

High Portfolio Turnover Risk. The Fund may actively and frequently trade all or a significant portion of the Fund’s holdings.

Liquidity Risk. Some securities held by the Fund, including options contracts, may be difficult to sell or be illiquid, particularly during times of market turmoil.

Price Participation Risk. The Fund employs an investment strategy that includes the sale of put option contracts, which limits the degree to which the Fund will participate in decreases in value experienced by the underlying reference asset over the Put Period.

Single Issuer Risk. Issuer-specific attributes may cause an investment in the Fund to be more volatile than a traditional pooled investment which diversifies risk or the market generally. The value of the Fund, for any Fund that focuses on an individual security (e.g., TSLA, COIN, NVDA), may be more volatile than a traditional pooled investment or the market as a whole and may perform differently from the value of a traditional pooled investment or the market as a whole.

Risk Disclosures (applicable only to YQQQ)

Index Overview. The Nasdaq 100 Index is a benchmark index that includes 100 of the largest non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market, based on market capitalization.

Index Level Appreciation Risk. As part of the Fund’s synthetic covered put strategy, the Fund purchases and sells call and put option contracts that are based on the Index level. This strategy subjects the Fund to certain of the same risks as if it shorted the Index, even though it does not. By virtue of the Fund’s indirect inverse exposure to changes in the Index level, the Fund is subject to the risk that the Index level increases. If the Index level increases, the Fund will likely lose value and, as a result, the Fund may suffer significant losses. The Fund may also be subject to the following risks: innovation and technological advancement; strong market presence of Index constituent companies; adaptability to global market trends; and resilience and recovery potential.

Index Level Participation Risk. The Fund employs an investment strategy that includes the sale of put option contracts, which limits the degree to which the Fund will benefit from decreases in the Index level experienced over the Put Period. This means that if the Index level experiences a decrease in value below the strike level of the sold put options during a Put Period, the Fund will likely not experience that increase to the same extent and any Fund gains may significantly differ from the level of the Index losses over the Put Period. Additionally, because the Fund is limited in the degree to which it will participate in decreases in value experienced by the Index level over each Put Period, but has significant negative exposure to any increases in value experienced by the Index level over the Put Period, the NAV of the Fund may decrease over any given period. The Fund’s NAV is dependent on the value of each options portfolio, which is based principally upon the inverse of the performance of the Index level. The Fund’s ability to benefit from the Index level decreases will depend on prevailing market conditions, especially market volatility, at the time the Fund enters into the sold put option contracts and will vary from Put Period to Put Period. The value of the options contracts is affected by changes in the value and dividend rates of component companies that comprise the Index, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual or perceived volatility of the Index and the remaining time to the options’ expiration, as well as trading conditions in the options market. As the Index level changes and time moves towards the expiration of each Put Period, the value of the options contracts, and therefore the Fund’s NAV, will change. However, it is not expected for the Fund’s NAV to directly inversely correlate on a day-to-day basis with the returns of the Index level. The amount of time remaining until the options contract’s expiration date affects the impact that the value of the options contracts has on the Fund’s NAV, which may not be in full effect until the expiration date of the Fund’s options contracts. Therefore, while changes in the Index level will result in changes to the Fund’s NAV, the Fund generally anticipates that the rate of change in the Fund’s NAV will be different than the inverse of the changes experienced by the Index level.

MIL-OSI: SailPoint Announces Strong Fiscal Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Financial Results

Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

Grew ARR 29% year-over-year to $877 million
Expanded SaaS ARR 39% year-over-year to $540 million
Finished the year with an ~80% year-over-year increase in the number of customers with more than $1 million of ARR

AUSTIN, Texas, March 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SailPoint, Inc. (Nasdaq: SAIL), a leader in enterprise identity security, today announced financial results for its fiscal fourth quarter and full year, ended January 31, 2025.

“We are very pleased to report our strong fourth quarter and full year 2025 results where our continued pursuit of efficient growth at scale drove a year of greater than ‘rule of 40’ performance. Our relentless focus on innovation and execution enables us to capitalize on the growing market opportunity to help enterprises as they struggle to manage, govern and secure their vast identity landscape,” said Mark McClain, SailPoint Founder and CEO.

“Identity security is increasingly recognized as a strategic enterprise security imperative today. CIOs and CISOs now realize the criticality of a unified, intelligent, and powerful identity security platform that is designed to handle enterprise-class scale, complexity, and velocity of change in fine-grained access needs. This becomes even more important with the rise of AI agents,” McClain continued. “We believe SailPoint’s ability to serve as a central control plane for securing all enterprise identities makes us the ideal partner to solve these critical business challenges for enterprises worldwide.”

Financial Outlook

For the first quarter of fiscal 2026, SailPoint expects:

Total ARR: In the range of $896 to $900 million, representing 26% to 27% year-over-year growth.
Total Revenue: In the range of $224 to $226 million, representing 19% to 20% year-over-year growth.
Adjusted Income from Operations: In the range of $14 to $15 million, representing adjusted operating margin of 6.2% to 6.7%.
Adjusted EPS: In the range of ($0.02) to $0.00 per diluted share.

For the fiscal full year 2026, SailPoint expects:

Total ARR: In the range of $1,075 to $1,085 million, representing 23% to 24% year-over-year growth.

Adjusted Income from Operations: In the range of $151 to $156 million, representing adjusted operating margin of 14.6% to 15.2%.
Adjusted EPS: In the range of $0.14 to $0.18 per diluted share.

These statements regarding SailPoint’s expectations of its financial outlook are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially. Refer to “Forward-Looking Statements” below for information on the factors that could cause SailPoint’s actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements.

All of SailPoint’s forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures exclude estimates for stock-based compensation expense and amortization of acquired intangibles as well as acquisition related costs and severance of certain key executives, if applicable. SailPoint has not reconciled its expectations as to adjusted income (loss) from operations and adjusted EPS to their most directly comparable GAAP measure due to the high variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections, particularly with respect to stock-based compensation expense. Stock-based compensation expense is affected by future hiring, turnover, and retention needs, as well as the future fair market value of our common stock, all of which are difficult to predict and subject to change. The actual amount of the excluded stock-based compensation expense will have a significant impact on SailPoint’s GAAP income (loss) from operations and GAAP net income (loss) per basic and diluted common share. Accordingly, reconciliations of our forward-looking adjusted income (loss) from operations and adjusted EPS are not available without unreasonable effort.

Investor Conference Call and Webcast

SailPoint will host a conference call today at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time to discuss the results and outlook. A live webcast of the conference call and a presentation regarding SailPoint’s fiscal fourth quarter and full year 2025 financial results will be available on SailPoint’s website at https://investors.sailpoint.com.

An audio replay of the conference call will be available on the investor relations website for one year.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures to clarify and enhance our understanding of past performance, including the following:

Adjusted income from operations, which we define as income (loss) from operations excluding equity-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets which includes impairment charges, impairment of intangible assets, acquisition-related expenses, benefit from amortization related to acquired contract acquisition costs, Thoma Bravo monitoring fees (which are annual service fees for consultation and advice related to corporate strategy, budgeting of future corporate investments, acquisition and divestiture strategies, and debt and equity financings pursuant to an advisory services agreement that was terminated upon the consummation of our initial public offering), and restructuring expenses.

Adjusted operating margin, which we define as adjusted income from operations as a percentage of revenue.

Adjusted EPS (or non-GAAP net income (loss) available to common stockholders per basic and diluted share), which we define as adjusted net income (loss) divided by the weighted average outstanding common shares. We calculate adjusted net income (loss) as net income (loss) on a GAAP basis excluding equity-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets which includes impairment charges, impairment of intangible assets, acquisition-related expenses, benefit from amortization related to acquired contract acquisition costs, and Thoma Bravo monitoring fees. Adjusted net income (loss) is adjusted for the effect of income taxes associated with such adjustments.

Our non-GAAP financial measures exclude items that neither relate to our ordinary course of business nor reflect our underlying business performance, such as equity-based compensation, the amortization of acquired intangible assets, and acquisition-related expenses. We believe these adjustments enable management and investors to compare our underlying business performance from period-to-period and provide investors with additional means to evaluate cost and expense trends. We also believe these adjustments enhance comparability of our financial performance against those of other technology companies. Accordingly, our management believes the presentation of our non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, SailPoint’s management uses adjusted income (loss) from operations for budgeting and planning purposes, including with respect to its corporate bonus plan.

Our non-GAAP financial measures are adjusted for the following factors, among others:

Equity-based compensation expense. We believe that the exclusion of equity-based compensation expense is appropriate because it eliminates the impact of equity-based compensation costs that are based upon valuation methodologies and assumptions that vary over time, and the amount of the expense can vary significantly due to factors that are unrelated to our core operating performance and that can be outside of our control. Although we exclude equity-based compensation expenses from our non-GAAP measures, equity compensation has been, and will continue to be, an important part of our future compensation strategy and a significant component of our future expenses and may increase in future periods.

Amortization of acquired intangible assets. We exclude amortization charges for our acquisition-related intangible assets and impairment of intangible assets for purposes of calculating certain non-GAAP measures to eliminate the impact of these non-cash charges and provide for a more meaningful comparison between operating results from period to period as the intangible assets are valued at the time of acquisition and are amortized over the useful life, which can be several years after the acquisition.

Acquisition related costs. We believe that the exclusion of acquisition-related expenses is appropriate as they represent items that management believes are not indicative of our ongoing operating performance. These expenses are primarily composed of legal, accounting, and professional fees incurred that are not capitalizable and that are included within general and administrative expenses.

Amortization related to acquired contract acquisition costs. On August 16, 2022, our predecessor was acquired in an all-cash take-private transaction by Thoma Bravo (the “Take-Private Transaction”). In accordance with GAAP reporting requirements, we have written off our contract acquisition costs at the time of the Take-Private Transaction. Therefore, GAAP commissions expense related to contract acquisition costs after the Take-Private Transaction do not reflect the commissions expense that would have been reported if the contract acquisition costs were not written off. Accordingly, we believe that presenting the approximate amount of acquisition-related commission expenses (so that the full amount of commission expense is included) provides a more appropriate representation of commission expense in a given period and, therefore, provides readers of our financial statements with a more consistent basis for comparison across accounting periods.

SailPoint’s non-GAAP financial measures may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in our industry because they may calculate non-GAAP financial results differently. In addition, there are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because they are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and exclude expenses that may have a material impact on our reported financial results. The presentation of non-GAAP financial information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. SailPoint urges you to review the reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures included below, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate its business.

Definitions of Certain Key Business and Other Metrics

Annual Recurring Revenue. We define ARR as the annualized value of SaaS, maintenance, term subscription, and other subscription contracts as of the measurement date. To the extent that we are actively negotiating a renewal or new agreement with a customer after the expiration of a contract, we continue to include that contract’s annualized value in ARR until the customer notifies us that it is not renewing its contract. We calculate ARR by dividing the active contract value by the number of days of the contract and then multiplying by 365. ARR should be viewed independently of revenue, as ARR is an operating metric and is not intended to be combined with or to replace revenue. ARR is not a forecast of future revenue, which can be impacted by ASC 606 allocations, and ARR does not consider other sources of revenue that are not recurring in nature. ARR does not have a standardized meaning and is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

SaaS Annual Recurring Revenue. We define SaaS ARR as the annualized value of SaaS contracts as of the measurement date. To the extent that we are actively negotiating a renewal or new agreement with a customer after the expiration of a contract, we continue to include that contract’s annualized value in SaaS ARR until the customer notifies us that it is not renewing its contract. We calculate SaaS ARR by dividing the active SaaS contract value by the number of days of the contract and then multiplying by 365. SaaS ARR should be viewed independently of subscription revenue as SaaS ARR is an operating metric and is not intended to be combined with or replace subscription revenue. SaaS ARR is not a forecast of future subscription revenue, which can be impacted by ASC 606 allocations and renewal rates and does not consider other sources of revenue that are not recurring in nature. SaaS ARR does not have a standardized meaning and is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

Subscription Revenue. The majority of our revenue relates to subscription revenue which consists of (i) fees for access to, and related support for, the SaaS offerings, (ii) fees for term subscriptions, (iii) fees for ongoing maintenance and support of perpetual license solutions, and (iv) other subscription services such as cloud managed services, and certain professional services. Term subscriptions include the term licenses and ongoing maintenance and support. Maintenance and support agreements consist of fees for providing software updates on a when and if available basis and for providing technical support for software products for a specified term.

Subscription revenue, including support for term licenses, is recognized ratably over the term of the applicable agreement. Revenue related to term subscription performance obligations, excluding support for term subscriptions, is recognized upfront at the point in time when the customer has taken control of the software license.

The Rule of 40. The Rule of 40 is a common SaaS industry metric used to evaluate the performance of SaaS providers by assessing a company’s balance between growth and profitability and postulates that a SaaS company’s revenue growth rate and profit margin should equal or exceed 40%. A total of above 40% is thought to indicate a healthy combination of expansion and financial stability. For SailPoint, the Rule of 40 is computed by adding the year-over-year ARR growth rate with our adjusted operating margin.

Explanatory Note Regarding Our Corporate Conversion

Prior to February 12, 2025, we were a Delaware limited partnership named SailPoint Parent, LP. On February 12, 2025, in connection with our initial public offering, SailPoint Parent, LP converted into a Delaware corporation pursuant to a statutory conversion and changed its name to SailPoint, Inc. References to “SailPoint,” “we, and “our” (i) for periods prior to such corporate conversion are to SailPoint Parent, LP and where appropriate, its consolidated subsidiaries and (ii) for periods after such corporate conversion are to SailPoint, Inc. and where appropriate, its consolidated subsidiaries.

Under his leadership, the business grew to $2 billion in 2024, representing annual growth of 160%. At HPE North America, Mr. Bond was responsible for all HPC/AI go-to-market activities including the creation of new customer offerings, designing sales and pricing programs, managing partners, including NVIDIA, Intel and others, and managing net new logo sales and business development teams.

Prior to HPE, Mr. Bond led all product development, engineering, marketing, operations, and pre-sales business development for Apptix, the largest (at the time) Application Service Provider for Microsoft Exchange, SharePoint, and Unified Communications. Prior to Apptix, Mr. Bond served as the Chief Technology Officer and Co-Founder of IceWEB, where he created one of the first fully automated software-as-a-service (SaaS) cloud offerings, before cloud and SaaS terms were coined.

Mr. Bond is also the author of “The Enterprise Cloud” and a keynote speaker at industry events nation-wide, covering topics, such as the benefits of on-premise and hybrid cloud, AI/GenAI use cases, and how to build and deploy AI infrastructure including GPUs, HPC storage, and power/cooling specifically tuned for AI workloads.

MIL-OSI: Issuance strategy for 2025 is unchanged despite government financing of KommuneKredit
Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

The Danish Government and KommuneKredit have agreed that Danmarks Nationalbank, on behalf of the central government, will finance KommuneKredit at the central government’s financing costs, as soon as possible. Hereby, the public sector can reduce its total interest costs, since the central government finances its activities at a lower interest rate than KommuneKredit. The initiative is not considered to contribute to increased credit risk for the central government.

The specific terms of financing will be negotiated between the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Industry, Business and Financial Affairs, KommuneKredit, and Danmarks Nationalbank, which is responsible for government debt management on behalf of the Ministry of Finance.

Danmarks Nationalbank looks forward to the future collaboration with KommuneKredit.

Issuance strategy for 2025 is unchanged

In 2025, the central government will finance KommuneKredit by drawing on the central-government account at Danmarks Nationalbank. Over time, financing will be covered by issuances of government securities, which in turn contributes to maintaining a well-functioning and liquid government debt market. Both EMU and central-government debt are unaffected by the initiative as the resulting rise in central-government liabilities will be offset by the corresponding increase in assets.

Enquiries can be directed at Henrik Nørby on phone +45 3363 6525.

MIL-OSI: Bitget Shifts Gears with Porsche Cup Brasil Sponsorship with Driver Flávio Sampaio

Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

VICTORIA, Seychelles, March 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget, the leading global cryptocurrency exchange, is set to accelerate its presence in the motorsport world as the official sponsor of Driver Flávio Sampaio for the Porsche Cup Brasil 2025. The partnership, which kicks off with the season’s opening race in April 2025, symbolizes the convergence of the on-going financial evolution, and the adrenaline-fueled world of motorsport.

The collaboration sets Bitget with Porsche’s legacy of precision and speed, creating a partnership that resonates with both crypto enthusiasts and motorsport fans. The sponsorship of driver Flávio Sampaio in the 2025 Porsche Carrera Cup Brazil season is supported by Bitget’s mission of bringing together sports and crypto.

The championship kicked off on March 22nd and 23rd at the Velocitta in Mogi Guaçu and will continue through November, with the final stage scheduled for the 8th and 9th in Interlagos, São Paulo. With its support for Flávio, Bitget becomes the first crypto exchange to participate in the competition and will have its own car in Latin America’s largest Grand Touring category.

In the past, Bitget also had a successful partnership with Argentina’s star Lionel Messi from 2022 to 2024 and previously sponsored Juventus’ women’s football team in Italy. Currently, it also supports other major sports projects, such as Turkish athlete Buse Tosun Çavuşoğlu (world wrestling champion), Samet Gümüş (gold medalist in boxing), and İlkin Aydın (national volleyball team athlete).

Flávio Sampaio, commented on the partnership, saying, “I am very excited about this partnership with Bitget and hope to help spark interest among motorsport fans in the world of cryptocurrencies. The profile of sports fans often has similarities with that of crypto investors. I believe we can create an interesting connection between these two worlds.”

Flávio Sampaio began his career in karting at the age of 12 and competed in major state and national championships until 2001. In 2007, he was invited to participate in Stock Jr., the feeder category for Stock Car. In 2008, he joined ATW Racing in Stock Light. In 2010, he was invited to compete in the Mini Cooper Challenge category, and in 2014, he moved to the GT3 Challenge.

This partnership is a Porsche 911 GT3 Cup wrapped in Bitget’s signature black-and-cyan livery, embodying the exchange’s commitment to speed, reliability, and performance. With a roaring 510CV engine, the car serves as a metaphor for Bitget’s high-performance trading engine, designed to deliver unmatched efficiency and results.

“This partnership isn’t just about speed on the track—it’s about accelerating innovation in the crypto space,” said Gracy Chen, CEO at Bitget. “We find that Flavio’s sportsmanship also dwells on the same principles that drive Bitget: strategy, adaptability, and high-performance execution. Aligning with a motorsport professional for a series known for its precision and competitiveness allows us to engage with an audience that values both technological advancement and calculated risk-taking.”

The Porsche Cup Brasil is the ideal setting for Bitget to engage with a discerning audience, since it draws Brazil’s top motorsport aficionados and sports-centric enthusiasts. Among the unique experiences attendees will have is access to the Paddock Terrace, where timing screens and real-time race radios provide an immersive perspective of the action. Bitget’s VIP visitors will also be able to meet drivers, tour the pit lane, and take part in Porsche Experience Rides where they will ride shotgun with professional drivers in Bitget-branded helmets.

Brazil is experiencing a notable surge in cryptocurrency adoption, with over 40 million users, which positions the country as a key market for Bitget’s expansion. By partnering with Driver Flávio Sampaio in the Porsche, Bitget strengthens its local presence and reinforces its global reputation as the top emerging crypto brand. The sponsorship shows Bitget’s ability to connect with diverse audiences, from crypto traders to motorsport enthusiasts, through shared values of innovation and performance.

As engines roar and markets surge, Bitget, and Porsche Cup Brasil are set to redefine what it means to blend speed with substance. This partnership merges excitement and anticipation, driving the future of finance and motorsport with Bitget set to lead.

MIL-Evening Report: Politics with Michelle Grattan: Jim Chalmers and Angus Taylor on tax top-ups and budget bottom lines

Source: The Conversation (Au and NZ) – By Michelle Grattan, Professorial Fellow, University of Canberra

As the election starter’s gun is about to be fired, Tuesday’s budget announced modest income tax cuts as the government’s latest cost-of-living measure. The Coalition has opposed the tax relief, with Peter Dutton’s Thursday budget reply to put forward his policy counters on the cost of living.

Meanwhile, the domestic economic debate is being conducted as President Donald Trump prepares to unveil more tariffs, which are likely to produce further uncertainty in the world economy.

On this podcast we are joined by Treasurer Jim Chalmers and Shadow Treasurer Angus Taylor.

Chalmers says the government is making every last-minute effort to argue against Australia being hit with more US tariffs. He’s ready to make personal representations if that’s thought useful.

I’ve been discussing that with Don Farrell, the minister for trade, whether or not that would be helpful to some of the efforts that he’s currently engaged in. So we’re working as a team on it. We’re working out the best [and] most effective ways to engage with the Americans. Again, speaking up for and standing up for our national interest.

We’re not uniquely impacted by the tariffs either already imposed or proposed. But we’ve got a lot of skin in the game here. We’re a trading nation, we generate a lot of prosperity on global markets.

A criticism from some about the budget was that climate change wasn’t mentioned explicitly. Chalmers takes issue with that.

I would have thought that an extra A$3 billion for green metals, which is about leveraging our traditional strengths and resources, our developing industries and the energy transformation to create something that the world needs, I think that’s a climate change policy.

And also the Innovation Fund, another $1.5 billion or so for the Innovation Fund in terms of sustainable aviation fuels, that’s a climate policy and also we’re recapitalising another couple of billion for the Clean Energy Finance Corporation.

So in every budget, we’ve made new investments in climate change and in energy and this week’s budget was no different in that regard.

Angus Taylor is scathing about Labor’s “top-up” tax cuts, which were the budget’s centrepiece, saying:

A government that has overseen an unprecedented collapse in our living standards, unrivalled by any other country in the world, and they’re trying to tell Australians that 70 cents a day, more than a year from now, is a solution to that problem?

It’s laughable, it is not even going to touch the sides, it’s Band-Aid on a bullet wound. It’s a cruel hoax. And frankly, the idea that this is good government is absolutely laughable.

On what change of approach a Coalition government would take, Angus Taylor points to the “fiscal rules that we adhered to when we were last in government”.

They were on the back of the rules that were established in the Charter of Budget Honesty that was established by Peter Costello in the 1990s to make sure your economy grows faster than your spending. That doesn’t mean spending doesn’t grow, it just means your economy grows faster.

So both of those things matter, a faster growing economy and managing your spending so that it’s not growing faster. Jim Chalmers doesn’t get that.

Michelle Grattan does not work for, consult, own shares in or receive funding from any company or organisation that would benefit from this article, and has disclosed no relevant affiliations beyond their academic appointment.

MIL-OSI: DEX3.AI: Next-Gen DEX Elevating Meme Trading on Solana to New Heights

Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

HANOI, Vietnam, March 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The cryptocurrency market in 2025 is a whirlwind of opportunity and risk, with meme coins driving unprecedented excitement on Solana — a blockchain celebrated for its speed and low costs. Enter DEX3.AI, a next-generation decentralized exchange (DEX) launched to empower meme traders with cutting-edge intelligence. As of March 18, 2025, DEX3.AI stands out by offering not just speed and usability, but a suite of advanced tools: Square Pie Chart money flow tracking, scam detection, wash trading alerts, and real-time insights into X accounts and token ownership. Tailored for Solana’s meme coin frenzy, DEX3.AI is the ultimate weapon for traders seeking smarter decisions in a chaotic market.

Solana: The Epicenter of Meme Coin Mania

Solana’s appeal to meme traders is undeniable. With over 65,000 transactions per second (TPS) and fees averaging 0.0001 SOL (a few cents), it’s a dream for those chasing rapid pumps and dumps. The 2024 rise of Pump.fun, which amassed $71.5 million in fees in November, solidified Solana as the meme coin hub. DEX3.AI steps into this arena with a mission: arm traders with the sharpest tools to navigate Solana’s wild ecosystem.

DEX3.AI: Intelligence Meets Intuition

DEX3.AI redefines what a DEX can be, merging AI-driven analytics with a trader-first design. Its upgraded features go beyond trading — they protect and inform. Here’s what sets it apart:

1. Square Pie Chart Money Flow Tracking
DEX3.AI’s Square Pie Chart interface transforms complex money flows into a clear, color-coded snapshot. Tracking whales, Smart Money, and KOLs (Key Opinion Leaders), it shows who’s buying or selling in real time. This visual brilliance makes market moves instantly digestible, giving traders the edge to act fast.

2.  Smart Risk Detection: Scams and Wash Trading
Meme coins are rife with scams and manipulation, but DEX3.AI fights back with AI-powered risk detection. It flags potential scams by analyzing token contracts for red flags (e.g., hidden mint functions) and alerts users to wash trading patterns — artificial volume spikes designed to mislead. This proactive shield helps traders avoid traps, a leap beyond basic DEXs like Raydium or Bullx.

3.  X Account Insights: Transparency in Influence
DEX3.AI digs into X accounts tied to tokens, revealing critical details: how many times a name has changed (a scam signal), follower count (influence level), and activity patterns. A KOL with 100K followers pumping a coin gets weighted differently than a renamed ghost account. These insights, updated live, empower traders to gauge hype versus reality.

4.  Real-Time Ownership Breakdown
Knowledge is power, and DEX3.AI delivers it with real-time token ownership analytics. See how much Devs, Insiders, and Snipers (early buyers) hold. If Devs control 70% of supply or Snipers are dumping, you’ll know instantly — crucial data for deciding whether to jump in or bail out.

5.  Seamless PC and Mobile Interface
Speed meets simplicity with DEX3.AI’s intuitive interface, optimized for PC and mobile. Swap tokens, monitor risks, or check X trends — all in a clean, responsive layout. Whether at home or on the move, traders stay in control

6.  Deep Signals: AI-Driven Predictions
Upgraded with AI, Deep Signals tracks money flows from whales, smart money, KOL and predicts trends by fusing on-chain data with X buzz. It flags tokens gaining traction — visualized in the Square Pie Chart — and warns of fading momentum, giving traders a predictive edge no rival can match.

7.  High-Speed Trading Precision
Built for Solana’s sub-400-millisecond confirmations, DEX3.AI ensures trades hit the blockchain at lightning speed. This precision is a lifeline in meme coin volatility, letting traders snipe launches or exit pumps before the crash.

DEX3.AI vs. The Field
DEX3.AI outshines its market competitors with wallet-tracking features that detect token trends and identify scams. Raydium and Jupiter excel in liquidity but fall short in providing risk assessment tools and real-time ownership data. Uniswap and PancakeSwap, constrained by slower chains, cannot match DEX3.AI’s Solana-optimized speed and intelligence. This DEX isn’t just better — it’s in a league of its own.

Empowering Smarter Decisions
What ties DEX3.AI’s features together is their purpose: better decisions. The Square Pie Chart clarifies money flows, scam alerts protect capital, X insights expose hype, and ownership data reveals risks — all in real time. A trader spotting a token with 80% Dev ownership and a suspicious X account can dodge a rug pull, while one seeing whale accumulation can ride the wave. This intelligence turns Solana’s chaos into opportunity.

The Future of DEX3.AI
In March 2025, as Solana’s meme coin scene surges, DEX3.AI is poised to dominate. Its blend of AI, risk detection, and trader-friendly design could evolve further — think deeper scam forensics or cross-chain meme tracking. DEX3.AI isn’t just keeping pace; it’s setting the DeFi standard.

Conclusion

DEX3.AI isn’t a typical DEX — it’s a meme trader’s dream on Solana. With Square Pie Charts, scam and wash trading detection, X account insights, real-time ownership breakdowns, and AI-driven signals, it delivers unmatched intelligence. For those navigating the meme coin jungle, DEX3.AI is the compass to profit and safety

MIL-OSI United Kingdom: Labour must tax wealthy, not cut vital services

Source: Scottish Greens

26 Mar 2025 Finance

Austerity is a choice.

More in Finance

The UK Government’s Spring Statement will be a test of Labour’s morals, says Scottish Greens co-leader Lorna Slater MSP.

Ms Slater has urged the party to tax the super-rich with wealth taxes to boost our green industries, undo the cruel cuts that have been inflicted and build a fairer society for people and planet.

According to research from the Tax Justice Network, a 1% annual wealth tax on net assets over £10 million could raise almost £10 billion a year while only impacting the richest 0.4% of the population.

Polling from Oxfam shows that two-thirds of Scots back increasing taxes for the rich, which would raise far more money than any ‘savings’ made through cuts.

Ms Slater said:

“The assault on social security and public services is not inevitable. It is a political choice.

“Labour is choosing to punch downwards and punish the most vulnerable rather than taxing the super-rich who have seen their incomes soaring while millions of people have been unable to make ends meet

“This is one of the wealthiest societies there has ever been, but so much of that wealth is being hoarded by a small number of very rich people and corporations.

“By properly taxing wealth, we can do far more to tackle poverty, improve healthcare, invest in public services and create better, happier and healthier communities.”

Ms Slater added:

“Labour promised change, but it was one of the most dishonest election campaigns in history.

“You can’t undo the catastrophic impact of 14 years of Tory rule with even more cuts.

“Every Labour MP faces a moral test. Will they back wealth taxes on the super rich, or will they back plans which they know will plunge even more of their constituents into poverty?”

MIL-OSI Russia: Students of the Faculty of Economics and Management learned about ways to digitize military events and their heroes

As part of patriotic education for students of the Faculty of Economics and Management, a seminar “Heroes” was held, during which students listened to a lecture by Dmitry Kutovoy, a specialist in working with youth in the section “Theory and Practice of Search Work” of the teenage and youth club “Unconquered Frontier” of the Krasnoselsky District of St. Petersburg. He is the founder of the Civic-Patriotic Center “Victory”, the commander of the youth search squad “Ligovsky”, a deputy of the seventh convocation of the Uritsk municipal district, the winner of the grant project for the preservation of the historical heritage of Russia “That which is impossible to forget” and the project “Through the Ages”, a competition for the provision of a subsidy from the Committee on Youth Policy, the winner and prize-winner of the regional stage of the Professional Skills Competition. He was awarded the badge of distinction “For contribution to the perpetuation of the memory of those who died defending the Fatherland.”

“Our club has been involved in the patriotic direction, including educational activities in educational institutions and search work, for ten years now. Over these years, we have seen that many methods of perpetuating memory have become outdated, so we decided to diversify them in order to keep up with the times and achieve greater understanding and interest among the younger generation. To this end, the club members have developed digital projects that have been well received by young people,” said Dmitry Kutovoy.

“About the War” is one of such projects. Its essence lies in the preparation and digitalization of information about exhibits transferred by search engines to patriotic museums of educational institutions. Thus, museums receive labels with a QR code, by clicking on which you can read informative articles about the exhibits.

Another project is “What is Impossible to Forget”. It is about perpetuating memorials, which are now presented in the digital environment. The lecturer recalled that in 1941, the German army planned to capture Leningrad through the Krasnoselsky District, and the district was on the front line of the city’s defense until the blockade was lifted. Fierce battles took place here. This explains the large number of memorials in these places. However, today many representatives of the younger generation do not know who they are for. This project helps to educate them in this direction.

“Each memorial is presented in a 3D model and has its own authentic tragic story. For example, in Polezhaevsky Park there is a mass grave known as the grave with children. Three unknown soldiers and two children are buried there – residents of the village of Klinovo, who died on September 18, 1941, during the battle for this village. These are 16-year-old Kolya Tikhomirov and 14-year-old Sonya Lyashkevich. They ran out to meet our soldiers and immediately came under fire: the Red Army soldiers and Kolya died on the spot, his brother Tolya was seriously wounded and was treated in the hospital until 1944. Sonya died in the evening of the same day from her wounds. This project is a clear example of perpetuating the memory of events and people,” Dmitry Kutovoy emphasized.

The “Through the Ages” project was initially dedicated to presenting military uniforms from different eras in 3D models. The authors of the project put them on, they were scanned and brought into the digital environment. Now the project has been expanded with SVO fighters: club members travel to new regions and scan them. This is how a digital 3D model of a person of real size is obtained. The model can be reduced and printed, including on a 3D printer. The soldier statues presented by the lecturer are printed digital copies of real people.

Another project is called “No Statute of Limitations”. It is being implemented in cooperation with the Investigative Committee. Its goal is to identify new facts of the genocide of the Soviet people during the war, in particular, the shooting of civilians in Pavlovsk in 1942. Due to technical reasons, their remains have not yet been found, but the remains of nine Red Army defenders of the city have been raised. One of them has a living daughter, she is 100 years old. For further study, the remains are scanned to clarify the causes of death, the places where the bullets hit. Based on this knowledge, it is possible to partially recreate their appearance.

“All projects are a good method of studying historical facts with explanations. Sponsors, deputies, grants and state subsidies help us create them. This once again emphasizes the understanding of the importance of our work at all levels,” the lecturer concluded.

First-year student Daniil Li believes that the lecture was interesting and informative. “We were shown new ways of perpetuating the memory of those killed during the Great Patriotic War and history in general using new technologies and digital solutions. I learned how and why historical information, memorials, and soldiers’ uniforms are digitized: using a barcode, you can find comprehensive information on a topic of interest at any time. This is important for all generations of our country,” he noted.

MIL-OSI Europe: An autonomous Europe in times of geopolitical tension: the role of the financial system | Guest contribution in the Handelsblatt

Source: Deutsche Bundesbank in English

The world has been turned on its head and Germany’s economy is stagnating. But in times of geopolitical tensions, a strong German economy is critically important for an autonomous Europe. Public investment will rise sharply now that the special funds have been adopted. While this will unleash positive growth effects, it won’t be enough to significantly expand the economy over a medium to long-term horizon. The German economy itself needs to get match fit to compete internationally – by becoming more agile, more digitalised and more innovative. To achieve this, it is also going to require a great deal more private investment, and that means mobilising vast swathes of private capital. A strong European financial ecosystem is critically important for an autonomous Europe that can be relied on in turbulent geopolitical times.
In this context, “autonomous” means a European real economy capable of obtaining funding via the European financial ecosystem and reducing its dependencies on non-European sources of capital. Bearing this in mind, a strong financial centre in Germany and Europe is crucially important, as is a more robust capital market culture.
Germany’s potential growth – a measure of the country’s trend rate of growth – is languishing at a multi-year low. Compared with an average of 1.4% of gross domestic product (GDP) between 2011 and 2019, it is a mere 0.4% today.
At the same time, Germany is Europe’s number one location for patent applications, and also ranks among the leading countries worldwide on this score – fifth, to be precise. However, much of Germany’s innovation is playing out in sectors characterised by lower growth potential, one of which is the automotive sector.
What is more, China has emerged as more than just a strong rival in these middle technology sectors, as they are known. Overcapacities in the Chinese economy, including in the car industry, are also rippling out to the European market, exacerbating the competition and price wars further still.
Why the United States is a high tech leader
When it comes to high tech sectors boasting strong potential growth, there’s no getting around the United States. Much of this success is down to the fact that capital (including venture capital, which is all important for funding innovation) is far easier to mobilise in US markets. While 0.8% of GDP gets invested in venture capital in the United States, it is only 0.19% in Germany. Incentives would make sense here. In Italy, pension funds benefit from tax relief if they invest 5% or 10% in venture capital funds. Generally speaking, it is important to make it easier for firms to access financing via capital markets. Fingers crossed, then, that measures like the ones envisaged in Germany under the second Future Financing Act (Zukunftsfinanzierungsgesetz II) will be taken up again. These include, for example, making it easier for firms to go public and improving the general tax rules for investment in growth and innovation capital.
There are a great many growth markets offering a wealth of opportunities for German firms, like cleantech, pharmaceuticals, bioscience or artificial intelligence. In this respect, it is very welcome to see businesses, associations and government team up as part of the WIN Initiative (Growth and Innovation Capital for Germany) to channel up to €12 billion into the venture capital ecosystem.
Sweden: four times more IPOs than Germany
But what Germany needs besides more venture capital activity is funded pensions. Sweden is a great example of how important this can be for capital markets. That Nordic country, with a population of roughly ten million, has seen 474 IPOs in total since 2015. Germany, with its much larger population, has had just 115. Sweden ranks first in the EU in the number of SME IPOs.
This striking capital market culture is due, in part, to the country’s funded pension scheme, introduced back in the 1990s. Since its launch, Sweden’s AP7 pension fund has generated an average return of more than 10%. The Netherlands also has an adequate pension system, which is mainly built around capital-funded occupational pensions.
There are many more countries I could mention that have taken similarly successful measures. A common feature is that two effects come about. First, as society ages, these models take the pressure off government budgets.
Second, a country’s economy benefits from the capital market activities of its own population, which smooths the domestic funding of innovation and growth.
German households were holding €9 trillion in capital at the end of last September – that’s a huge amount of potential investment. At present, though, only 17% of the population aged 14 and over hold shares, equity funds or ETFs.
A strong capital market would benefit the domestic economy, the general public and government alike. It would enable the economy to be funded by the region, for the region, and add substantially to Europe’s autonomy. The general public would get better provision for their old age, one that is furthermore placed on a broader footing. Also, the pressure on government budgets would be reduced, which will be significant in view of the rising expenditure burden.
In times of distinct geopolitical uncertainty, it is important for Germany and Europe to be autonomous. The capital market has a key role to play in this regard.

MIL-OSI United Nations: WFP calls for urgent investment to prevent child wasting as leaders convene at Nutrition for Growth Summit

ROME – As global leaders and experts convene in Paris for the fourth Nutrition for Growth Summit, the UN World Food Programme is calling for greater focus and action to prevent wasting – the deadliest form of malnutrition – before its life-threatening impacts are felt in children. Action before malnutrition takes hold is crucial.

Malnutrition does irreparable damage to a child’s physical and cognitive development, weakening immune systems, stunting growth and limiting brain development. Malnutrition often begins during pregnancy which is why prevention programmes that target at risk mothers and children are essential. Acting early and fast is the only way to avoid the lifelong impact of wasting on a child’s health.

“We must prevent child malnutrition before it ever takes hold,” said WFP Executive Director Cindy McCain. “If we fail to act, we are condemning millions of children to a lifetime of suffering. WFP has the knowledge and tools to stop malnutrition in its tracks—what we need is investment and political will.”

WFP needs $1.4 billion to deliver malnutrition prevention and treatment programmes for more than 30 million mothers and children in 56 countries in 2025. In 2024, WFP prevented wasting in 13.8 million mothers and children through the provision of fortified foods, nutrient-dense supplements, cash or vouchers for nutritious meals and nutritionally adequate food baskets. Additionally, the agency helped 14 million more individuals through its emergency malnutrition treatment programmes.

Malnutrition is rising worldwide due to a relentless wave of global crises including conflict, economic instability, and climate-related emergencies: in the 15 countries most affected by malnutrition, 33 million children suffer from wasting.

“The Nutrition for Growth Summit is a pivotal opportunity to secure a better future for millions of children,” said Executive Director McCain. “Governments, donors and partners must step up and invest in nutrition now—a healthy child today means a stronger, more resilient world tomorrow. WFP is being forced to make tough choices, prioritizing treatment over prevention, meaning we can only help children when they’re already sick. With flexible and predictable funding, we can act early, break this cycle, and save more lives.”

Without urgent funding, WFP will be forced to suspend prevention programmes in countries with some of the largest burdens of child malnutrition. In Afghanistan, for example, prevention programmes will cease from May, while in Syria and DRC such programmes will be reduced from June unless additional funds are received. In Yemen, where up to one-third of children under five are wasted, WFP has only been able to implement one prevention programme in one district in the last 12 months – and this will end in May without additional funding.

Malnutrition is responsible for half of all deaths among children under five years old. For those who survive, malnutrition reduces their ability to learn, earn and thrive as adults, trapping them in a cycle of poverty and poor health.

Investing in malnutrition prevention during the first 1,000 days improves individual health and strengthens economies: low- and middle-income countries lose an average of 10% of GDP due to malnutrition through increased healthcare costs and lowered human capital. Prevention programmes also reduce the burden on treatment programmes, ensuring resources are available for those already suffering from malnutrition.

MIL-OSI China: China makes progress in gov’t budget disclosure

Source: China State Council Information Office

China has made significant progress in government budget disclosure and fiscal transparency, providing support for the establishment of a modern budget system, according to the Ministry of Finance.

Central government departments released their 2025 budgets on Wednesday. This is the 16th consecutive year of such disclosures since the practice began in 2010.

Budget disclosure is a crucial component of government transparency and a key measure to enhance budget management, an official with the Ministry of Finance stated in an online statement.

In recent years, the ministry has made efforts to timely disclose the central government budget, and has established a dedicated platform for central budget and final account disclosures, facilitating public oversight of government spending, the official said.

Disclosing performance targets plays a pivotal role in improving public access to information and strengthening fiscal transparency, the official noted.

In 2017, central government departments released project performance targets for the first time. Since then, the scope of disclosure has seen a significant expansion, with the number of published performance targets increasing from 10 in 2017 to 796 in 2024.

The ministry pledges to continue expanding performance target disclosures to further improve their quality, the official added.

World news story

UK, Philippines hold 5th Climate Change and Environment Dialogue

Bilateral cooperation on climate and environment is being strengthened through discussions on science, innovation, localisation, resilience, and finance.
His Majesty’s Ambassador to the Philippines, Laure Beaufils, and Environment Secretary and Official Representative of the President to the Climate Change Commission, Maria Antonia Yulo Loyzaga recently led the 5th UK-PH Climate Change and Environment (CCE) Dialogue to set the direction for the year, building on the successes of 2024.

These saw UK support for the operationalisation of the Philippines’ National Adaptation Plan, mobilisation of institutional capital into renewable energy in the country through the Philippines Stock Exchange, funding to civil society across projects on biodiversity and coastal livelihoods and launching of key multi-stakeholder platforms tacking plastic pollution and blue carbon.

Both countries agreed to establish a UK-led development partners coordination group for the localisation of climate analytics in provinces identified with high exposure to climate risks in the National Adaptation Plan, and the government’s Risk Resiliency Programme. Using the findings from pilot site of Negros Occidental, an investment platform will be developed to mobilise private capital for adaptation and resilience with a focus on climate-smart agriculture, innovative water management solutions and agroforestry projects.

The Dialogue also agreed to ramp up support for the blue economy through the UK’s Blue Planet Fund. The new COAST (Climate and Ocean Adaptation and Sustainable Transition) programme will be rolled out in the Philippines this year, which seeks to deliver interventions that will strengthen marine protected areas, operationalise sustainable fisheries management, and promote blue carbon initiatives.

Representatives reached an agreement to form a UK-DENR partnership mechanism to promote biodiversity and nature grants to local governments and communities that would not only support biodiversity conservation but also build resilience and provide long-term economic benefits for resource-dependent communities.

Representatives also agreed to ramp up collaboration on climate and nature finance. Discussions covered expanding access to sustainable financing, catalysing private capital for climate change adaptation, and aligning financial strategies with climate risk assessments to develop more investment-ready portfolio for large-scale, long-term sustainability efforts.

Ambassador Beaufils said:

I am very proud of the progress we have made together. But we won’t rest on our laurels. We are ambitious for the future, and we will continue to deliver tangible results across adaptation, climate finance, science and research, and investments into renewable energy.

Meanwhile, Secretary Loyzaga highlighted:

Our Enhanced Partnership with the UK is a testament to our commitment as like-minded countries and large ocean nations to a future that is secured under a rules-based international order. The bi-annual reviews of our climate change joint work plan will allow us to align, calibrate, and adapt when we respond to geo strategic uncertainties that we actually face.

The dialogue concluded with both countries signing a renewed partnership statement on climate and nature. The UK remains committed to supporting these efforts through expertise, financing, and advocacy for climate-vulnerable nations.

The Dialogue was attended by high-level representatives from key agencies, including the DENR, Climate Change Commission, Department of Agriculture, Department of Finance, Department of Science and Technology, Department of Energy, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, National Economic and Development Authority, the Public-Private Partnership Center and the Department of Trade and Industry.

The maximum number of shares represents approximately 9.29 per cent of all outstanding A shares of the company. The repurchased shares will be cancelled.

The shares may be repurchased either through an offer to all shareholders on equal terms or through other means and otherwise than in proportion to the existing shareholdings of the company’s shareholders (directed repurchase) if the Board of Directors deems that there are weighty financial reasons for such directed repurchase. Directed repurchases may be carried out, among others, through open market purchases, participation in accelerated book-building processes or through arranging reversed accelerated book-building processes.

The purchase price per share shall be no more than

(i) the highest price paid for the company’s shares in public trading on the day of the repurchase or the offer to repurchase the company’s own shares, or alternatively,

It is proposed that the authorisation be valid until the close of the next Annual General Meeting, however no longer than 18 months from the Annual General Meeting’s decision.
