Following the destruction in Gaza, two competing visions for its future emerged. The #TrumpAdministration initially proposed placing #Gaza under U.S. control, forcibly relocating its Palestinian residents, and transforming the area into a luxury destination. Framed as a long-term solution, this plan was widely condemned as a violation of international law, dismissing Palestinian sovereignty and ignoring regional security complexities. ? As the world debates Gaza’s reconstruction, critical questions remain: Who will lead these efforts? What role will international stakeholders play? And how will economic and political forces shape the path forward? ?

China’s target of “around” 5% GDP growth next year—and for the third consecutive year— demonstrates China’s leader’s confidence in the #Economy.?But how realistic is this goal? And what policy tools will #Beijing deploy to achieve it? In our latest insight by the?Basilinna Institute, the team breaks down key talking points from?China’s Annual Government Work Report.

At this year’s Two Sessions, China reaffirmed its 5% GDP growth target, an ambitious goal that requires stronger stimulus measures. #Beijing has pledged a more accommodative monetary policy and an expansionary fiscal approach, raising the fiscal deficit target to 4% for the first time. ? However, China’s stimulus efforts did not start at the Two Sessions—they began as early as September last year. Since then, Beijing has been rolling out a series of targeted #PolicyMeasures to support growth. From day one of China’s stimulus efforts, the Basilinna Institute has closely tracked the country's stimulus measures, monitoring how the country is adapting to shifting economic dynamics.

The future of global sustainability isn’t just about what happens on land—it’s about our oceans.?#MaritimeSustainability?and?#QuieterOceans?are essential to protecting biodiversity and driving a resilient global economy. Can economic growth and ocean conservation go hand in hand??At?#FIIPRIORITY, Basilinna Chair and CEO?Deborah Lehr joined experts and global leaders to explore how investment, policy, and innovation can align environmental responsibility with economic opportunity. With the right strategies, industries—from shipping to energy—can evolve to support a thriving?#BlueEconomy?while safeguarding our oceans.?

The ocean is never silent—but human activity has made it far noisier than nature ever intended. Noise pollution disrupts marine life on a fundamental level, interfering with survival, migration, and communication. However, solutions exist, and collaboration across the maritime sector is key to implementing them. Yesterday I had the chance to discuss these opportunities with WAVE, Dr. Carlos Duarte, HRH Princess Reema bint Bandar Al Saud, and other key stakeholders at #FIIPRIORITY Miami. Even small operational changes—like reducing vessel speed by a few knots—can significantly minimize underwater noise while also cutting greenhouse gas emissions. The International Fund for Animal Welfare estimates this shift could unlock $3.4B–$4.5B in annual socioeconomic benefits. The potential for impact is undeniable. So, where do we go from here? Stakeholders across shipping, policy, and conservation must align efforts to drive systemic change. Technological innovation, regulatory frameworks, and industry-wide commitments will define our path forward. The question now is: how do we turn momentum into measurable action? Let’s keep the conversation going—what steps do you see as most critical in this journey? #MaritimeSustainability #QuieterOceans #CollaborativeImpact
