The regime increasingly relies on restrictive controls over civil society’s monetary flows to punish dissent. In 2023, the regime froze the bank accounts of institutions affiliated with the Catholic Church, which led a Nicaraguan seminary to cease operations. Since 2018, thousands of NGOs have been forced to close or had their assets seized for alleged financial violations. In Nicaragua, authoritarian financial control is a primary way to stifle civil society.

But “free” at launch does not mean neutral. As a direct central bank liability, the Digital Dirham gives the state full visibility into transactions and the power to impose future fees, conditions, or negative interest rates once adoption is established. The news follows the UAE’s first state-to-state CBDC transaction conducted via the multi-CBDC mBridge platform, which links the UAE with China and other authoritarian states in a shared, programmable settlement system.

The first 100 Units were issued in a pilot led by Russia’s Institute for Economic Strategies. The BRICS bloc includes many authoritarian or hybrid authoritarian regimes that use capital controls, censorship, and financial surveillance to manage dissent. A state-designed, programmable digital currency rail used across multiple authoritarian states could harden those powers.
